 * Hi,
    My host provider can’t do the backup saves from the website because of this
   table which appears as locked. This table is empty. Should I just delete it or
   change the rules of it? Thanks

 * Hi [@arcantide](https://wordpress.org/support/users/arcantide/), thanks for getting
   in touch.
 * The **wfPendingIssues** table is used during a scan to temporarily store information
   about the scan to report back afterwards, so shouldn’t be deleted as it’ll cause
   errors.
 * There is a chance that the backup might be running at the same time that your
   scan is scheduled to run – so the table will be in use. It could be worth checking
   the timing of both of these events and staggering them, or excluding this table
   from your backup altogether as data from it won’t need to be restored.
 * Thanks,
 * Peter.
