# [Plugin: BackWPup] Backup "working" error

 * Thanks for a great plugin!
    I’ve used it extensively with good results.
 * I don’t remember updating the plugin, does it update automatically?
    The backups
   it makes seem to be fine but lately under “settings” the “information” part is
   forever busy processing something… And when I do the export, under “BakWPup Working”
   it doesn’t show any progress (0 – 100%), it just stays at 1% – even after backup
   is complete.
 * Is this a common issue with a possible work-around or is it serious?
    Can you
   offer any pointers? Thanks

 * I’m afraid it’s gone from bad to worse. It no longer works at all.
    Are there
   any checks I can do to regain performance? I’m working locally on WAMP, otherwise
   I would post a link.

 * I updated today and the backup process is very slow, my whole backup is 40 MB,
   in the past it needs round about 40-60 seconds , now it lasts 5 minutes and isn’t
   ready, it hangs while uploading to my ftp server (already logged in).
 * What’s the matter?
 * Thanks and bye

 * I canceled the job after 15 minutes and restarted, after 5 minutes the transfer
   to my FTP server succeeded, but the backup file was stored in the root and not
   in the /backup/ folder. And (because I have backup for FTP and Dropbox configured)
   the Dropbox upload lasts too lon, actually 10 minutes…
 * Please help, BackWPUp is such a great tool!
 * Bye
 * Ralf
