 * Hi,
 * Please could you send us a copy of the latest full backup log?
 * This can be found in the UpdraftPlus Existing Backups tab.
    The contents will
   be too long to post here directly, but you can use an online service such as 
   Dropbox or Pastebin, and post the link here.
 * Regards,
    Bryl

 * [@bcrodua](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bcrodua/) _Please stop telling
   ANYONE to post log data in these forums._ After 10 lines or so it doesn’t work.
   Use pastebin.com and ask them to share the link to the paste.
 * [@thenew2021](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thenew2021/) Please do not 
   post large code or responses like that here, it doesn’t work after ~10 lines 
   or so.
 * If you need share that data please use [https://pastebin.com/](https://pastebin.com/)
   instead and post the link to that paste.

 * bcrodua did indeed say to not post the log here, but to instead use Pastebin.
   His post above is his usual “canned response”, which exactly follows your suggestion(
   Googling `site:wordpress.org "you can use an online service such as Dropbox or
   Pastebin, and post the link here"` shows over a 100 times he’s used it before).

 * _*Looks*_
 * Why yes, yes that’s true. Happy New Year. 😉
