UpdraftPlus attempts to check the cPanel quota at the start of the backup, which will fail with this error if not available. IF the check fails, the backup will continue as normal. * You can disable this check by adding the following to your wp-config.php file: ` define('UPDRAFTPLUS_SKIP_CPANEL_QUOTA_CHECK', true);` * Please could you add this, and then send us a copy of the latest backup log? This can be found in the Existing Backups tab. * The contents will be too long to post here directly, but you can use an online service such as Pastebin, and post the link here. * Thread Starter [AtelierFlavia](https://wordpress.org/support/users/atelierflavia/) * (@atelierflavia) * [8 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/site-down-with-updraftplus/#post-9544491) * Hi, * this is the [latest backup log](https://pastebin.com/G3ZUMAVB) * Thanks in advance for helping me to solve this problem. * Plugin Contributor [DNutbourne](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dnutbourne/) * (@dnutbourne) * [8 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/site-down-with-updraftplus/#post-9549574) * Hi, * Apologies, the paste appears to have been set to ‘private’. please could you set it to ‘public’? * Thread Starter [AtelierFlavia](https://wordpress.org/support/users/atelierflavia/) * (@atelierflavia) * [8 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/site-down-with-updraftplus/#post-9551400) * Hi, * now the paste is public. * Plugin Contributor [DNutbourne](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dnutbourne/) * (@dnutbourne) * [8 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/site-down-with-updraftplus/#post-9553053) * Hi, * The log does not show any errors or warnings, and the backup appears to run smoothly.
