# [Plugin: BackUpWordPress] backup_warnings

 * I’ve just installed BackUpWordPress on a new site and used the “backup now” option.
   The backup appears to have completed okay, it created a large ZIP file in the
   wp-content/backups directory. But it also created a backup_warnings file, and
   I’m wondering what this warning means. It looks like it’s identifying a PHP error
   in one of my plugins (FlexoArchives). But (1) I don’t know if this means the 
   backup isn’t good, or if it’s mostly good but this particular plugin didn’t get
   backed up properly, and (2) why would BackUpWordPress be examining or trying 
   to run any plugin code in the first place? Seems like all the PHP code on the
   site would simply be treated as text data by the backup process.

 * Follow-up: I just did another “backup now” on the same site, and this time it
   didn’t generate any warnings.
 * The only difference, as far as I know, is that this time I excluded one path 
   that contained 300+ MB of audio files, so the resulting ZIP file is much smaller.

 * BackUpWordPress isn’t running the code in your plugins as part of the backup 
   process, what it is doing is catching any PHP errors that happen during the backup
   process in-case any of them are from BackUpWordPress itself.
 * You can safely ignore any errors generated by other plugins, or email the plugin
   author and ask them to fix.
