    Hi,

    Using latest free updraftplus on my multisite.

    When I configure the S3 configurations, it fails (same configurations worked about half a year ago) – even the test connection fails. – This might be my configuration problem, but the bug with the plugin is that when it fails with the s3 configurations it goes into a loop of high CPU.

    Summary – there is a bug in the plugin so when there are bad configurations with the remote s3 configurations, it consumes high CPU for a long time making the site unresponsive !!

    Hi,

    > The free version does not work on a multisite. You need premium version for this.

    UpdraftPlus has been designed to be dependent on your server resources. Please check this FAQ on how to reduce server resource usage – https://updraftplus.com/faqs/how-much-resources-does-updraftplus-need/

    It works on my multisite, although it has limited functionality, anyway, I tested also the full version (using GPL) and the same bug is still there.

    UpdraftPlus warning: This is a WordPress multi-site (a.k.a. network) installation. WordPress Multisite is supported, with extra features, by UpdraftPlus Premium, or the Multisite add-on. Without upgrading, UpdraftPlus allows every blog admin who can modify plugin settings to backup (and hence access the data, including passwords, from) and restore (including with customized modifications, e.g. changed passwords) the entire network. (This applies to all WordPress backup plugins unless they have been explicitly coded for multisite compatibility).

    I have a VPS server from Amazon with 2 cores and 4gb memory, the site is 1.3gb, but I don’t get more than 200 visits / day.

    I have used all tips found online including your link, so I configured the BIN.. something (to use external zip executable I think) and have limited the splitting of files to 25mb instead of the 400mb defaulted.

    Looking in the logs, the zip is done successfully in less than 4 minutes, then it does endless retries to contact the Amazon S3 and the problem is that it hogs my CPU for several hours making my site unresponsive.

    @chaiavi Are you able to provide a copy of you logs? Please could you copy the contents into an online tool (such as https://pastebin.com/ ) and post the link here?
