Your server settings (.htaccess file) might be blocking wp-cron which is required to start the backup process. You will need to add the following to a .htaccess file in your WordPress root directory:
<Files “wp-cron.php”>
Allow from All
Satisfy Any
</Files>

Thanks
We have done this (me and my friend) but without results 🙁
Are you using a cache plugin?
I am using W3TC and WordPress Backup to Dropbox 1.4. The backup does not start. Nothing in wpb2d folder.
@michael I’ve added the code that you provided above in .htaccess and tried to backup once again still there is nothing in wpb2d folder 🙁
I am too using W3TC and WordPress Backup to Dropbox 1.4. Even last version was not working on my site, I was waiting for updates from long time but sadly this version is also not working, please help. This plugin is great option to automate the backup process. I really appreciate your work, thanks in advance.
From what I am hearing W3TC and WPB2D don’t play nicely together and investigating why is now at the top of my TODO list.
I will let you know when I find a solution.
The plugin i got is
Dynamic Widgets Version 1.5.3
WordPress Backup to Dropbox Version 1.4
WP-Cron Oneshot Version 1.0.1
WPJobBoard Version 3.6.0
WordPress 3.4.2.
@michael I just deactivate W3 Total Cache and tried to take backup but still it is not working, don’t know what’s the problem 🙁
Hello Michael,
I’m using latest version, I’ve added the .htaccess code, deactivate the W3 Total cache, still it shows following when I click start backup:
Backup Log
You have not run a backup yet. When you do you will see a log of it here.
Hi Michael,
I am having same issue on cvrp.ca i can not run your backup tried all items i have read in all your posts but still no luck any other suggestions you have for me?
Any Update. I too am having the same issue…
Please verify that wp-cron is working by scheduling a post some time in the future and checking it posts.
