 * I have tried the auto back-up through WP and it didn’t seem to work. Now I am
   trying to use BackupBuddy and I get the following message;
 * WordPress may have been detected in one or more subdirectories. Backing up multiple
   instances of WordPress may result in server timeouts due to increased backup 
   time. Detected locations:
    /blog/,/wordpress.data/
 * What do I need to do to get this fixed or changed so I can finally get backed-
   up, and update to the newer WP?

 * There is no auto-backup in WP, so you must have used a plugin for that. Remove
   that plugin for starters.
 * BackupBuddy is a paid plugin, which comes with support.

   there how to make it work 🙂
