What is UP with this plugin??

    I have no idea what’s going on with the plugin. The first time I tried to create a Dropbox backup, it seemed to start up okay. That was about 30 minutes ago. I see that it has created a subfolder on Dropbox with about 40 files in it.

    In the meantime, the WordPress dashboard is displaying the Dropbox Full Backup page, with an error log window. Above the error log it says “Please wait…168 sec” with a progress bar to the right of that says “wpadmn.com” in it and a spiraling graphic behind it. If you believe the progress bar, NO progress has been made.

    In the error log window it has a bunch of messages, the last three of which say:

    2015-07-23 21:26:18 Start Backup process…
    2015-07-23 21:26:18
    2015-07-23 21:26:18 Create Unique Id wpadm_method_backup__55b15bfa90e08

    This information has not changed in the last 20 minutes. Has the backup process stalled? Has it completed? Impossible to tell from the user interface. Please explain. Thanks.

    By the way, I did use the widget on the Dropbox Backup control panel to register at http://secure.webpage-backup.com/backup. It’s not clear to me at all what this other site is supposed to do. Please explain that.

    Lastly, after I registered, I received a confirmation email containing BOTH my username AND the password I entered when I registered. Don’t you know: you should NEVER send usernames along with their passwords “through the clear” via email!!!! You are putting user’s security at extreme risk following this process, and you need to change it ASAP. That you apparently are not well informed enough to know this makes me extremely reluctant to consider using your plugin.

    Hello Jonathan,

    the password was sent only once at the first registration time. You can change this at any time.

    It’s not clear to me at all what this other site is supposed to do. Please explain that.

    To manage more than one website from one place; for case, if your website are not available and you want recover your site; sheduling backup.
    An explanation of this you can find at “Description” and “FAQ” pages of this plugin:
    https://wordpress.org/plugins/dropbox-backup/
    and
    https://wordpress.org/plugins/dropbox-backup/faq/
    Please, read carefully.

    Concerning your backup:
    1. Most likely the script hasn’t enough access rights to make a backup.
    2. Be sure that your website meets the minimum requirements to work correctlly.
    3. If you have further questions, wishes or offers about backup, or you want to become quickly help – please contact us.

    Thank you
