# Backup doesn't email

 * About 2 months ago, my automated backup stopped working. I use the standard backup
   in Tools>Backup.
 * I saw that the settings had changed and no matter what I try, the settings will
   not persist. (there is no Save button.)
 * I did a manual backup and when it completed, it said ‘backup has been emailed’
   to my gmail address, but I never received the email. (I checked Spam, Trash and
   other folders and checked for any filters that might affect it.)
 * I double checked that the email address was correct.
 * I have been able to create the backup file and save it to my computer but I really
   want the daily automated backup emailed to me.
 * Help please.

 * That come from a plugin. Which plugin are you using?

 * Thanks for responding.
 * I didn’t realize it was from a plugin. It’s “WordPress Database Backup” by Austin
   Matzko. I checked the details and it has not been tested with the current version
   of WP.
 * I also maintain my wife’s site and it works there but I haven;t upgraded her 
   site to the latest version.
 * Is there a backup plugin that you recommend?

 * I use UpdraftPlus – Backup/Restore but I have never had to use the backup created.

 * Are you on a Cpanel Host like Godaddy? If so I suggest that you use the backup
   utility provided with the host.
