Are you sure it is? * The most likely cause of those warnings is that the permissions on your wp-content/ updraft directory (where files are written to whilst the backup is created) are too restrictive and don’t allow writing. Alternatively, your disk space / account quota may be full. * Please could you send a complete log so that I can have more information? Please use pastebin.com (they are too long to post in the forum here). * Many thanks, David * Thread Starter [quantaweb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/quantaweb/) * (@quantaweb) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-errors-warnings/#post-3810691) * Hi David, * Thanks so much for your reply. Well, I don’t know if the backup is running properly. Backups are made, and a copy is stored on the server; another copy is sent to S3. So, it looks to me like it’s working but I don’t really have any way of knowing. * Pastebin said the log was too big so I did a bit of hunting for an alternative and found friendpaste. So here it is: [https://friendpaste.com/697eKEcWib01o6zT1foFIn](https://friendpaste.com/697eKEcWib01o6zT1foFIn) * There is plenty of disk space; we’re only using a small fraction of what’s available to us. So maybe it’s a permissions issue? * Thanks so much! Denise * Plugin Author [David Anderson / Team Updraft](https://wordpress.org/support/users/davidanderson/) * (@davidanderson) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-errors-warnings/#post-3810696) * Hi Denise, * From the log, I can now see the problem. * You have a statistics plugin which logs a line in the database for every single visitor. The result is a database table (wp_tts_trafficstats) which has a massive 396,465 rows and takes just over 91 minutes to create the backup of. During that 91 minutes, UpdraftPlus does not realise that the whole thing has not stalled, which leads to various bits of logging that wouldn’t otherwise happen. * Such a table is likely to be having a large effect on your site performance, and the most efficient solution all-around would be to use a MySQL tool to purge it of non-recent data. That should not just solve the UpdraftPlus issue, but make your site faster too. * David * Thread Starter [quantaweb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/quantaweb/) * (@quantaweb) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-errors-warnings/#post-3810700) * Hi David, * Well that’s very strange. Many months ago I installed the Track That Stat plugin– and uninstalled it a month or so later. It’s been a long time and I would have thought it had completely uninstalled. * I will look into that! * Thanks so much. best, Denise * Plugin Author [David Anderson / Team Updraft](https://wordpress.org/support/users/davidanderson/) * (@davidanderson) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-errors-warnings/#post-3810701) * From past reports, it doesn’t seem to delete its data upon deinstallation – that has to be done manually. * If you like UpdraftPlus, please give us a 5-star review – [http://wordpress.org/support/view/plugin-reviews/updraftplus?rate=5#postform](http://wordpress.org/support/view/plugin-reviews/updraftplus?rate=5#postform)– thank you! * David * Thread Starter [quantaweb](https://wordpress.org/support/users/quantaweb/) * (@quantaweb) * [13 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/getting-errors-warnings/#post-3810702) * Another quick question – do you know of a good tool that would get rid of the table?
