 * Error. After the back up has run and goes to 100% I get this warning.
 * WARNING: File “……../community/wp-content/uploads/index.php” is not readable!
 * Does anyone have insights on this?
    The BackUp worked for the 1st 2 backups, 
   but I am setting up a site so want to make frequent backups of my work. The 3rd
   one gave me this error.
