Found it on another site with no Shopp and WordPress 3.1.4 and working W3 Total Cache 0.9.2.1 (the version that works best for me).

Someone please fix this.

Thanks guys! Y’all rock!

LOL. Way to test. Breaks for me on WP 3.1.x

Now here’s where I’ll help:

1. Whenever installing backwpup, make sure you use a working e-mail address on your job and make sure that it emails you for ALL backups (both successful and unsuccessful ones). This way you’ll get pounded with emails if this happens to you.

2. I am using W3 Total Cache. I have a feeling that this is causing something to happen continually, perhaps when caches get flushed.

3. This happens on multiple servers for me. VPS, shared, etc. But all are Linux.

4. Consider using https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/wp-time-machine/ wptimemachine – if this has a same issue, then it could possibly be due to the cron, not your plugin.

You are going to copy and paste responses? Well so am I.

Daniel, this is extremely irresponsible of you. I understand it’s open source, but you have created a plugin that is devastating servers and took one of mine down with its errant processes last night.

I just woke up with 233 e-mails – a server had been gzipping all night long and was on its knees. It’s not a horrible thing until you fail to claim responsibility in helping fix the problem.

I am also not the only person having these problems, so clearly it is not just me.

Not everyone will be moving to 3.2 immediately. You have a responsibility to those whose servers your software has hammered to FIX THE PROBLEM before we get thrown off of our hosting plans.

I have lost all respect for you and your plugin and will be finding another backup solution and writing a terrible review (and SEOing it) unless you do something about it.

THIS PLUGIN NEEDS A BUG FIX FOR THE 3.1.x BRANCH IMMEDIATELY

Actually, there *is” harm done. I’ve had MULTIPLE accounts get flooded with too many backups (forgot to set max # files), and it’s crushing my servers.

This is going on like crazy when using the built-in WP-Cron settings. It’s in 3.1.2 and 3.1.3.

Daniel PLEASE look into this. Contact me if you need access to a server where it’s happening.

I’m in the same boat on a LOT of different servers. It seems that BackWPup is getting called a ton of times.

It could be WP-Cron’s fault, I’m not sure. Either way, there’s a massive bug and it needs to be diagnosed.

I can provide access to a site that is having this issue if you like. I found out because I ran out of space. That server must have gotten clobbered.

The best way to see what’s happening is to have yourself get e-mailed even when there are no errors. If it’s happening all day long, you have a serious problem.

Second the above post. Was digging around and realized that disabling W3TC’s Minify and enabling WP-Minify was super simple. Took 2 minutes to set up, and my page speed with Google is 94.

Sorry guys, I stopped using the plugin and don’t want to risk enabling it. I’m an SEO and it’s simply not worth it in terms of risk/reward. Just run a honeypot and continually collect the good GoogleBot addresses using Webmaster Tools or something to that extent.

Just wanted to add that I was just logged into Google Webmaster Tools, and used the “Fetch as GoogleBot” tool to see what one of my pages looked like to G. And….. DENIED BY BAD BEHAVIOR.

If you have ANY interest in SEO (which you should), you should NOT use this plugin. Even if it blocks just a very small percentage of Google’s datacenters, it is not worth it!!!! My stronger sites could probably power through that, but my newer/weaker sites couldn’t. This particular site is not ranking for ANYTHING.

Deactivated and Deleted on all sites. I won’t be returning.

Watch out folks…

3.5 doesn’t work with 3.0.5.

Ozh should to program proper conditionals so that
1. If we’re using 3.0.x, we don’t get get an upgrade, or
2. It recognizes 3.0.x and doesn’t give us BROKEN CODE.

This is sloppy code/design and I’d complain more if it wasn’t free.

3.4.99 is a mess for me. On my 3.0.5 site, I simply have NO menu. The div is “hidden” and when I unhide it in firebug, it still doesn’t show up. Something is wrong with the CSS I think.

Ozh please fix this!

Any ideas here?

We’re unable to get facebook ad tracking working properly and would love to see if there are other options.

Thanks
