I have exactly the same problem and tried different backup-possibilities. to folder, to FTp, to dropbox
but everytime I get a job started, the screen will refresh and reads “Job started” but nothing happens. There is no progress bar for the backup and no logs are written. Writing permissions for the folders are set right.
Funny is:
I manage another WP site for a friend on another server and there BackWPup does funtcion properly.
Any suggestions to fix this problem?
Thanks
