Errors on 2 of my sites with BackWPup

  • Hi,

    I’ve had BackWPup running, on several sites, for years.

    Suddenly, two of my sites are having this error …

  • No it was note. In my case there are about 4 errors that I get and they seem to rotate. Support has tried to convince it is my host. I’ve worked with my host and I believe things are good there.

    I responded to your post primarily because I was interested if you found any good alternatives to use?

    I’ve looked at quite a few plugins.

    So far, I’ve not found a free one that is as good as BackWPup ‘used to be’.

    Obviously, one with less features, that works, is better than a feature rich option that doesn’t.

    The paid options seem too expensive for what they are.

    I agree on the paid options. If you have 1 or 2 sites they would be fine but they cost to much for as many sites as I have.

    Have you considered he free version of Updraft Plus? It looks like it cold work but I haven’t had time to implement a version of it one site to assess it. BackupBuddy is another one I need to explore.

    Good morning, I use this plugin in more than 20 sites since years, in four Servers and ONLY in one, I still continue with the same problem (so, must be any server configuration?):

    Please, help?
    and thanks in advance.

    Please, could you give the name of: “So far, I’ve not found a free one that is as good as BackWPup ‘used to be’.”
    thanks very much.

    I’m also having the same 429 error. Any solution for this?
