38 = Don't Risk Anything Less =
39
40 Your WordPress backups are worth the same as your entire investment in your website. The day may come when you get hacked, or your hosting company does, or they go bust - without good backups, you lose everything. Do you really want to entrust all your work to plugins with only a few thousand downloads, or that has no professional backup or support? Believe us - writing a reliable backup plugin that works consistently across the huge range of WordPress deployments is hard.
41
42 = UpdraftPlus Addons And Premium =
43
44 UpdraftPlus Backup/Restore is not crippled in any way - it is fully functional for backing up and restoring your site. What we do have is various extra features (including site cloning), and guaranteed support, available <a href="http://updraftplus.com/">from our website, updraftplus.com</a>. See <a href="http://updraftplus.com/comparison-updraftplus-free-updraftplus-premium/">a comparison of the free/Premium versions, here</a>.
45
46 If you need WordPress multisite backup compatibility (you'll know if you do), <a href="http://updraftplus.com/shop/">then you need UpdraftPlus Premium</a>.
47
48 = Professional / Enterprise support agreements available =
49
50 UpdraftPlus Backup/Restore is written by professional WordPress developers. If your site needs guaranteed support, then we are available. Just <a href="http://updraftplus.com/shop/">go to our shop.</a>
51
52 = More premium plugins =
53
54 If you are in the market for other WordPress premium plugins (especially WooCommerce addons), then try our shop, here: https://www.simbahosting.co.uk/s3/shop/
55
56 = Are you multi-lingual? Can you translate? =
57
58 Are you able to translate UpdraftPlus into another language? Are you ready to help speakers of your language? UpdraftPlus Backup/Restore itself is ready and waiting - the only work needed is the translating. The translation process is easy, and web-based - go here for instructions: <a href="http://updraftplus.com/translate/">http://updraftplus.com/translate/</a>. (Or if you're an expert WordPress translator already, then just pick out the .pot file from the wp-content/plugins/updraftplus/languages/ directory - if you scan for translatable strings manually, then you need to get these functions: _x(), __(), _e(), _ex(), log_e()).

101 == Frequently Asked Questions ==
102
103 <a href="https://updraftplus.com/support/frequently-asked-questions/"><strong>Please go here for the full FAQs - there are many more than below.</strong></a> Below are just a handful which particularly apply to the free wordpress.org version, or which bear repeating.
104
105 = Can UpdraftPlus do (something)? =
106
107 Check out <a href="http://updraftplus.com/updraftplus-full-feature-list/">our full list of features</a>, and our <a href="http://updraftplus.com/shop/">add-ons shop</a> and <a href="http://updraftplus.com/comparison-updraftplus-free-updraftplus-premium/">free/Premium comparison table</a>.
108
109 = I found a bug. What do I do? =
110
111 Note - this FAQ is for users of the free plugin. If you're a paying customer, then you should go here: http://updraftplus.com/support/ - please don't ask question in the WordPress.Org forum about purchases, as that's against their rules.
112
113 Next, please make sure you read this FAQ through - it may already have the answer you need. If it does, then please consider a donation (e.g. buy our "No Adverts" add-on - <a href="http://updraftplus.com/shop/">http://updraftplus.com/shop/</a>); it takes time to develop this plugin and FAQ.
114
115 If it does not, then contact us (<a href="http://wordpress.org/support/plugin/updraftplus">the forum is the best way</a>)! This is a complex backup plugin and the only way we can ensure it's robust is to get bug reports and fix the problems that crop up. Please make sure you are using the latest version of the plugin, and that you include the version in your bug report - if you are not using the latest, then the first thing you will be asked to do is upgrade.
116
117 Please include the log if you can find it (there are links to download logs on the UpdraftPlus settings page; or you may be emailed it; failing that, it is in the directory wp-content/updraft, so FTP in and look for it there). If you cannot find the log, then I may not be able to help so much, but you can try - include as much information as you can when reporting (PHP version, your blog's site, the error you saw and how you got to the page that caused it, any other relevant plugins you have installed, etcetera). http://pastebin.com is a good place to post the log.
118
119 If you know where to find your PHP error logs (often a file called error_log, possibly in your wp-admin directory (check via FTP)), then that's even better (don't send multi-megabytes; just send the few lines that appear when you run a backup, if any).
120
121 If you are a programmer and can debug and send a patch, then that's even better.
122
123 = Anything essential to know? =
124
125 After you have set up UpdraftPlus, you must check that your WordPress backups are taking place successfully. WordPress is a complex piece of software that runs in many situations. Don't wait until you need your backups before you find out that they never worked in the first place. Remember, there's no warranty and no guarantees - this is free software.
126
127 = My enormous website is hosted by a dirt-cheap provider who starve my account of resources, and UpdraftPlus runs out of time! Help! Please make UpdraftPlus deal with this situation so that I can save two dollars! =
128
129 UpdraftPlus supports resuming backup runs right from the beginning, so that it does not need to do everything in a single go; but this has limits. If your website is huge and your web hosting company gives your tiny resources on an over-loaded server, then go into the "Expert settings" and reduce the size at which zip files are split (versions 1.6.53 onwards). UpdraftPlus is known to successfully back up websites that run into the multiple-gigabytes on web servers that are not resource-starved.
130
131 = Will you support Windows Live OneDrive (f.k.a. SkyDrive)? =
132
133 No. Microsoft forbid the use of OneDrive/SkyDrive by backup utilities - see http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/hh826521 ("Here are some examples of nonconforming apps: Apps that automatically back up files or folders to OneDrive.").
134
135 = Any known bugs ? =
136
137 Not a bug, but one issue to be aware of is that backups of very large sites (lots of uploaded media) are quite complex matters, given the limits of running inside WordPress on a huge variety of different web hosting setups. With large sites, you need to use S3 (Amazon or compatible), Google Drive, Dropbox, WebDAV, Rackspace Cloud Files, OpenStack (Swift), DreamObjects or FTP because these support chunked, resumable uploads. Other backup methods have code (since 0.9.0) to retry failed uploads of an archive, but the upload cannot be chunked, so if an archive is enormous (i.e. cannot be completely uploaded in the time that PHP is allowed for running on your web host) it cannot work. (Though as far as we're aware, no other cloud backup plugins support chunking, so you're still no worse off than with the alternatives).
138
139 = My site was hacked, and I have no backups! I thought UpdraftPlus was working! Can I kill you? =
140
141 No, there's no warranty or guarantee, etc. It's completely up to you to verify that UpdraftPlus is creating your backups correctly. If it doesn't then that's unfortunate, but this is a free plugin.
142
143 = I am not running the most recent version of UpdraftPlus. Should I upgrade? =
144
145 Yes; especially before you submit any support requests.
146
147 = Have you written any other free plugins? =
148
149 Thanks for asking - yes, I have. Check out my profile page - http://profiles.wordpress.org/DavidAnderson/ .

151
152 == Changelog ==
153
154 The <a href="https://updraftplus.com/news/">UpdraftPlus backup blog</a> is the best place to learn in more detail about any important changes.
155
156 N.B. Paid versions of UpdraftPlus have a version number which is 1 higher in the first digit, and has an extra component on the end, but the changelog below still applies. i.e. changes listed for 1.9.60 of the free version correspond to changes made in 2.9.60.x of the paid version.
157
158 = 1.9.63 - 2015-04-03 =
159
160 * TWEAK: Revert to previous global SSL CA bundle: it seems Amazon S3 still has servers with 1024-bit SSL certificates
161
162 = 1.9.62 - 2015-04-01 =
163
164 * FEATURE: Automatic backups now integrate with the forthcoming WP 4.2's "shiny plugin updates"
165 * COMPATIBILITY: Tested and marked compatible with the forthcoming WordPress 4.2 (tested up to beta 3)
166 * FIX: Fix regression in 1.9.60 for corner-case of S3 users with no permission to check their bucket's location (but permission to write to it).
167 * TWEAK: Make "settings saved" message disappear after a few seconds, to prevent UI clutter
168 * TWEAK: Decrease UI clutter in backup time selection
169 * TWEAK: Update to latest global SSL CA bundle, removing again 1024-bit root CAs (last attempted in 1.9.26, but S3 still had some legacy servers). Modern web browsers have not accepted these for 6 months now. (SSL verification can be turned off in the expert options).
170 * TWEAK: Defeat WP Download Manager Google Drive plugin's loading of its SDK on all pages (conflicting with UD when UD attempts to backup to Google Drive)
171 * TWEAK: Detect case of old MySQL on Windows with table prefix that varies by case (and hence WP actually only works by accident) - produce a consistent backup that can be restored on any MySQL server.
172 * TWEAK: Add dashboard notice with links to more resources, for free users who've been installed >4 weeks (with option to dismiss notice)
173 * TWEAK: Add itsec_log to the list of tables of non-essential/not-needing-search/replace + likely to be large tables for backup strategy
174 * TWEAK: Improvement to scheduling algorithm in case where WP's scheduler starts same resumption multiple times - prevent next attempt being delayed longer than necessary
175 * TWEAK: Add a header to report emails indicating the job ID - helps when debugging
176 * TWEAK: Detect + show a more helpful error message if blocked by CloudFlare when connecting for updates (paid versions)
177 * TWEAK: Make it easier to use custom Dropbox API keys, via UPDRAFTPLUS_CUSTOM_DROPBOX_APP constant (define to true in wp-config.php)
178 * TWEAK: Tweak debug output of webserver information to avoid triggering a (silly) mod_security rule in some setups
179 * TWEAK: Alert the user if using Amazon S3 if they do not have the PHP XML Writer module available
180 * TWEAK: Log the fact that local deletions are being skipped, if the user set that option.
181 * TWEAK: Give timestamp of WPB2D backups without relying upon location of SQL file
182 * TWEAK: Detect a situation on migration where the uploads path is changed (from a site that began pre-WP 3.5) that was previously undetected
183 * TRANSLATIONS: French translation updated from less than half to complete, thanks to Erwan François. Various other translations updated (many thanks to all translators).
184
185 = 1.9.60 - 2015-02-24 =
186
187 * FEATURE: When using "Backup Now", and keeping the UpdraftPlus settings page open, a broken WP scheduler will not prevent the backup's progress.
188 * FEATURE: Amazon's "EU Central 1" Frankfurt region now supported again (Amazon began requiring their new signature method at this location - probably a sign of things to come everywhere). PHP 5.3.3 required for this region.
189 * FEATURE: Database backup files can now be handled when uncompressed - i.e., you can remove the gzip compression, and use the resulting file (useful for large backups on slow/limited hosting: pre-decompressing the file will reduce the processing time needed)
190 * FEATURE: Introduced new in-page auto-backup widget that can resume, and thus cope with a backup of any size. This feature is in preparation of WP 4.2's major re-write of the updating user experience flow.
191 * TWEAK: Update PHP-Opencloud (Rackspace) and dependency libraries to current versions.
192 * TWEAK: Make sure that activity is recorded periodically when adding database tables to the final database backup (found a site with over 7,500 tables)

195 * TWEAK: Importer (part of UpdraftPlus Premium) can now import generic .sql, .sql.gz and .sql.bz2 files
196 * TWEAK: Don't show the "memory limit" warning in a case where the value could not be accurately detected
197 * TWEAK: If the user chooses the "email" remote storage method, then a warning will be added if the archive being sent is bigger than most mailservers can carry (and will be removed if it is successfully sent), thus giving the user a hint as to the failure cause (if they overlooked the existing warning in the email settings).
198 * TWEAK: The importer (part of UpdraftPlus Premium) can now import the latest BackupWordPress format databases
199 * TWEAK: Flush output buffer explicitly when closing the browser connection - prevents delayed feedback on some setups
200 * TWEAK: Automatic backups are now offered if you go to the 'Plugins' page, and update via the 'More information' iframe
201 * TWEAK: Trim spaces from Google Drive client_id/secret - some users didn't spot that they introduced whitespace when copy-pasting
202 * TWEAK: Add "Simple Visitor Stats" and "Simple Feed Stats" tables to the list of tables that may have large amounts of data, and which don't need search/replacing when migrating
203 * TWEAK: When restoring plugins and themes, log the list of entities being restored (helps with tracing problems)
204 * TWEAK: Deal with CloudFTP/StorageMadeEasy returning directory listings in a non-standard format, when rescanning remote backups

206 * TRANSLATIONS: Updated translations in several languages (many thanks for our translators)
207 * FIX: For imported 3rd-party backups, the 'Existing Backups' tab (only) was showing "Unknown Source" instead of the detected source.
208
209 = 1.9.52 - 2015-02-07 =
210
211 * FIX: Fix issue when migrating (hence, in Premium versions only) backups with very large options tables output by mysqldump, which could cause the site URL to finish with an incorrect value
212
213 = 1.9.51 - 2015-02-03 =
214
215 * SECURITY: Prevent nonce leak that could allow logged-in users who aren't admins (if you have any) to access backups, UpdraftPlus settings and perform other harmful actions. No issue exists for users of UpdraftPlus Premium, or if you have the stand-alone "Automatic Backups" or "No Adverts" add-ons, or if your site has no untrusted users who can log in (or whilst have dismissed the "Automatic Backups" notice on the updates page). Credit to Sucuri (http://sucuri.net) for identifying this issue, and notifying us of it.

225 * TWEAK: Tidy up the post-restore screen a little - one less info box.
226 * TWEAK: When a restore finishes, WP Super Cache's cache will be emptied (if present), to prevent confusion caused by cached pre-restore pages.
227 * TWEAK: Slight change to how the 'mothership' for updates is calculated, for more flexibility in our in-house testing
228 * TWEAK: Log more informative error if user chooses 'FTP' for their remote storage, but adds no FTP settings
229 * TWEAK: Change "any other directory" to "any other file/directory" in the "more files" add-on, to better reflect its capabilities
230 * TWEAK: Make sure that "more files" will skip UD's temporary directory, if asked to back up a parent directory of it
231 * TWEAK: Default to https for updates checking, with fallback to http (only relevant to versions from updraftplus.com)
232 * TWEAK: Prevent 'Strict Standards' PHP coding notice with WebDAV on PHP 5.5
233 * TWEAK: Provide clickable link through to the admin email address in the reporting settings

242 * TWEAK: Prevent PHP notice when listing files on SFTP server
243 * TWEAK: Reset an internal upload counter used to detect activity when a cloud storage switch is made due to no apparent activity - could prevent some large, long-running uploads on hosts with little available execution time
244
245 = 1.9.45 - 2014-12-20 =
246
247 * FIX: Fix case in which the database imported from a BackWPUp backup could be falsely identified as missing (introduced in 1.9.40)
248 * FIX: WordPress installs with ALTERNATE_WP_CRON set could skip some scheduled backups (since 1.9.19, so it appears that the conditions required to cause this bug are rare)
249
250 = 1.9.44 - 2014-12-13 =
251
252 * TRANSLATIONS: Add new incomplete translations (ready for the wordpress.org change to take translation availability into account when searching for plugins): Norwegian Bokmål, Norwegian Nynorsk, Finnish, Hebrew, Catalan, Vietnamese, Bengali

286 * TWEAK: You can now remove your updraftplus.com password from the settings (paid version) without losing your access to updates
287 * TWEAK: Suppress top advert if the user is on their first go (free version - danger of too many notices)

732 * TWEAK: Use higher priority on cron backup schedules call to prevent other plugins which call WP wrongly from over-writing new cron schedules (e.g. BackupBuddy)

751 * TWEAK: Show PHP + web server versions in the debug information
752 * TWEAK: More sophisticated attempts to get a writable backup directory, and more helpful messages if we can't
