Hi Michael,
Have you recently upgraded your site from http to https?

Good guess, yes!
What can I do to make backups that are restorable?

Hi Michael,
So any new backups you make will be from the https url so when trying to restore them you will no longer get that message.
As for the backup you currently have if you want to restore that, you should be able to just click past that warning and carry on with the restore.
This may cause some redirection problems, in which case you either need to change the site url and home url in the WordPress dashboard back to the https version or if you can’t access that due to the redirection issues you would have to change the site url and home url in the WordPress database back to the https version of the site.
We have a tweak coming soon which should detect the change in http/https and provide a better warning, than the one you recieved.
Best Wishes,
Ashley

I see, thank you for your answer. Luckily, I could solve the problem in between without that backup, but still, your answer does not fit to the problem exactly.
Well, the change to https is some weeks ago and the backup is from yesterday. Somehow UpdraftPlus does not recognize that backups are made from https and still sees http only.
I don’t want to leave unmentioned, that I have MainWP in place and manage a few sites from there, including backups with its UpdraftPlus extension. After the change to https, the website has been newly added to MainWP by telling it the new https-domain. Perhaps there is a conflict that is not regarded to your plugin but this extension (as well)? I asked their support as well already today, but you were quicker!

Hi Michael,
Glad you resolved that.
Could you check that your site url/home is actually as expected?
Also could you take a manual backup from UpdraftPlus it’s self to see if you have the same issue.
There could be some conflict if the backup is made from MainWP, but we don’t develop that so that would be an issue to bring up with them.
Best Wishes,
Ashley

It was still at “http” 🙁
Thank you, regarding the manual backup, I’ll get back to you.
