    I was just checking my backups and the SQL file doesn’t appear to have been backed up for quite some time now. Sometimes other files show this error, but I do see the majority of files getting backed up fine.

    Looking in the log, there has been this error every day:

    due to the following error: Unable to connect to tcp://api-content.dropbox.com:80. Error: Connection timed out

    Do you have firewall or something that may be preventing a TCP connection to api-content.dropbox.com?

    Hi Michael,

    No there is no firewall. It appears to always get hung up on the SQL file, but other files are backed up fine.

    Having said that last nights backup appears to have worked ok!

    That is good news. Id say it was a one off networking issue between your server and Dropbox.
