What happens after a 503 ?

    I see in my log quite a few of the following:

    During the backup process I get quite a few:
    Error uploading ‘xxxxxx’ to Dropbox: Service unavailable for 143864684, please re-issue request. (Status Code: 503)
    but then all is good again and it does continue normally.

    Does the plugin retry for 503 ? Or just gives a notice and then moves on ?
    If if does not retry how can I make sure that those files that got a 503 get backup anyway ?

    Thx. – Dominik

    At the moment it moves on. 503’s are very rare however the plugin should recover from them so I am planning to add retry attempts soon.

    I would not say those 503’s are rare. When doing a full back up from scratch of any given medium sized site I get 5-15 such 503s…
    I am not critising you here – dont get me wrong. But an incomplete backup is not a backup…
    But let me ask yo the following:
    Would it be fair to assume that given plugin only backs up files that have changed that the following approach should be fool-prove:

    Backup a site – whereby, lets say 99.95% of all files get backup correctly. And then run a backup again which would then backup those 0.05% of all files that were skipped at the first time. I am seeing things correctly here ?

    I am also seeing many 503 errors. I use this plugin on multiple installations of WordPress on different servers.
