 * The following error message appears.
    →can’t read”/home/users/***/web/***/wp-
   content/uploads/index.php”
 * Do you know what it is caused by?
    Are there any ways to fix this?

 * Hi [@1uinmko](https://wordpress.org/support/users/1uinmko/),
    Look like you have
   a permission problem, BackWPUp does not have permission to read **index.php**,
   please try to set permission 644 to that file or you can exclude that file in**
   files** section in job setting. Hope that helps :), Cuong
