# Problems during backup process

 * I use Koko Analytics in two WordPress sites and I use BackWPup plugin to generate
   database and file backups.
    Since I have Koko Analytics installed the backup 
   process shows a warning like this: “WARNING: Link “/mnt/…/htdocs/WordPress/koko-
   analytics-collect.php” will not be followed.” (translated) What is the impact
   related to the backup process and a possible restore? How can I overcome this?
   Is there a setting I have forgotten or that you recommend?

 * That’s totally fine. That file is being used to store the live statistics, before
   they are written to DB moments later. You never need a backup of that file, koko
   will re-created it as needed.
 * Hope that helps. If you have any questions, please let me know!

   definition. Thanks!
