 * Tried using the plugin for a local backup, but it ended up clogging both the 
   webserver and the debug log (100,000+ error messages while backup was running).
   Mostly failed calls to php functions such as: “request_Method”, “request_uri”,“
   http_headers”, “user_agent”, “request_entity, “ip”, “date”. Would recommend fallbacks
   in cases where such methods fail, rather than persistently retry them until things
   brake.

 * Hi,
 * You need to post some of your log to make this post useful, as I am unable to
   learn anything useful from it in its present form. UpdraftPlus nowhere contains
   the strings request_Method, request_uri, http_headers or user_agent in its source
   code, so I am unsure what problems you are referring to.
 * Thank you,
    David

 * It might be from hooking to WordPress core functions, as most of the aforementioned
   functions naturally try to get some information from the user accessing it. I
   assumed this to be a result of my XAMPP configuration (on localhost, denying 
   it access to larger networks), and therefore did not think much of it.
 * I essentially installed it without problems, but got a clogged debug log after
   trying to run a backup. The problem was resolved when I uninstalled the plugin,
   but I cannot definitely say that UpDraftPlus was the perpetrator as it might 
   have conflicted with other plugins, and as said my local configuration disallows
   most calls to the internet.
 * **Marked as resolved:** Assume the error to be unique to my server setup.

 * Hi, thanks. It’s hard for me to say anything useful without seeing any of the
   logs myself.
