Title: Not saving backups Last modified: May 9, 2018 --- # Not saving backups * Resolved [moshulu23](https://wordpress.org/support/users/moshulu23/) * (@moshulu23) * [8 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-saving-backups/) * I have one client site that for some reason Backwpup is not saving backups even though I have it set to save full backups. In the log list it shows that the job was ran but it says log only. When I started running backwpup on this site it ran and saved fine. I have changed no settings and now it will only save the logs. I have even remade the job with the exact same settings but it’s the same result.

If so, could you please temporarily disable the caching plugin and then try again? - This reply was modified 8 years, 1 month ago by [happyAnt](https://wordpress.org/support/users/duongcuong96/). * Thread Starter [moshulu23](https://wordpress.org/support/users/moshulu23/) * (@moshulu23) * [8 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/not-saving-backups/#post-10263393) * There is no caching plugin on the site.

But it used to though. I have 5 backups saved on my computer that I deleted from the site to save room. I saved and removed those 10 days ago and still a scheduled new daily backup has not been saved on the site.
