# Updraft Plus Backup?

 * Greetings all!
 * I went to do a backup on one of my sites after doing a bunch of plugin/theme 
   updates, before I did a wo core update and got the following error message:
 * “Warning: A zip error occurred – check your log for more details.
    Warning: Your
   website is visited infrequently and UpdraftPlus is not getting the resources 
   it hoped for; please read this page: [http://updraftplus.com/faqs/why-am-i-getting-warnings-about-my-site-not-having-enough-visitors/&#8221](http://updraftplus.com/faqs/why-am-i-getting-warnings-about-my-site-not-having-enough-visitors/&#8221);
 * So, being the good little user, I went to the link proffered and was even further
   confused by the following parts:
 * – “if your website has zero visitors between midnight and 5am, and if your backup
   is scheduled to run just after midnight, then it won’t actually get to run until
   a visitor turns up at 5 am.”
    – “Your website is not known by search engines”–“
   Your website has almost no other visitors” – “UpdraftPlus has detected a lack
   of visitors”
 * I seriously have to ask….what the heck does ‘visitors’ have anything to do with
   my backup??? This seems to be a rather silly and seriously inconveneint limitation
   for simply just making a backup of files. What does it matter how many people
   do/do not see my website? I just did 8 updates (5 plugs, 3 themes) and want to
   make a backup of the currently working site before updating to 3.8 in case something
   goes wrong during the update. The logic of this limitation escapes me. “Help 
   me David Anderson, you’re my only hope!”
