    My blog needs to be fixed. it’s working overall however after a sudden move to another host done by someone who did not program my blog resulted in a few issues that I am now finally trying to tackle.

    Number one is my backups. I have backwpup installed and it was backing up on my dropbox but after working for 4 months the automated backup started to return to me with email logs with error messages.

    So now I am trying to fix that I received the advice from someone to install updraft plus.
    I want to give that a try but since I have little knowledge anymore about wp or webpages anymore since I been out of it for over 12 years I looked up this tutorial and figured ill use that.

    I was told I do not have to uninstall backwpup before installing updraft plus.

    I downloaded manually one last database backup (a my sql file?) to my laptop I assume I am safe with that?

    Before I do anything I would like to know if just installing the plugin can cause my blog and site pages to disfunction?

    Last but not least I wanted to use this tutorial when installing updraft plus: https://themeisle.com/blog/backup-a-wordpress-site-for-free/
    Please let me know if that’s a good tutorial to follow for me.

    The last thing I can use right now is my blog to stop functioning as I am not able to fix it right now and it is my outlet and diary on my healing journey so it is important to me. Thnx in advance for the help.

    Hi,

    Yes it won’t cause any conflict with UpdraftPlus.

    The tutorial you have is good and yes you can follow those steps in installing UpdraftPlus.

    Thnx Bryle, The installation was successful and apparently, I also have successfully made a backup.

    I have manually successfully made the first backup to my dropbox (that’s what the plugin showed and the backup files are in my dropbox as well.) However at the bottom of my plugin page from updraft ist sais: “existing backups :0” that confuses me. Can you explain why it sais that?

    I am assuming I can now uninstall backup from my wb? I don’t see the use to keep two backup plugins running to my dropbox seeing that backwpup didn’t work anymore anyway.
