Title: A zip error occurred Last modified: August 17, 2020 --- # A zip error occurred * Resolved [nudgingfinancialbehaviour](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nudgingfinancialbehaviour/) * (@nudgingfinancialbehaviour) * [5 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-zip-error-occurred-2/) * My Updraft Plus report is stating that: “A zip error occurred – check your log for more details.” It’s been doing this every day for the past 2 weeks. * I’m unable to see anything strange though. When checking my googledrive my backups are there. * Can someone advise if that error is a problem and I should be checking something else? * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fa-zip-error-occurred-2%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 19 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-zip-error-occurred-2/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-zip-error-occurred-2/page/2/?output_format=md) * Plugin Contributor [bcrodua](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bcrodua/) * (@bcrodua) * [5 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-zip-error-occurred-2/#post-13271774) * Hi, * Please could you send us a copy of the latest full backup log? * This can be found in the UpdraftPlus Existing Backups tab.

I’ve checked my space. I have 15GB available and have only used less than 2GB (this is on my googledrive, where I store the backups). Nonetheless, I deleted some stuff and a back up was done after that and it’s still giving the zip error? * Plugin Contributor [bcrodua](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bcrodua/) * (@bcrodua) * [5 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/a-zip-error-occurred-2/#post-13297964) * Hi, * Is that shared or for this specific site only? * Can you also check that the file permission is set correctly?
