 * Every-time i run this plugin my site crashes and 500 Internal Server Error.
    
   I have spotted this many times, today again happens the same. Do i have to delete
   all previous backups?

 * Hi,
 * If your site goes down whenever you run a backup, this is very likely to mean
   that your web hosting company applies some very stringent resource limitations,
   such that they won’t allow you to have enough resources to both run the website
   and run a backup at the same time.
 * There are some tips here on how to minimise UD’s resource requirements: [https://updraftplus.com/faqs/how-much-resources-does-updraftplus-need/](https://updraftplus.com/faqs/how-much-resources-does-updraftplus-need/)
