 * Hi,
    I’ve recently found your backup plugin and have used it successfully on 
   a number of websites but unfortunately, there is one where the backup seems to
   hang at the status where the Backup archive is being created.
 * Here is the error message:
 * ERROR: Job has ended with errors in 1075 seconds. You must resolve the errors
   for correct execution.
 * Can anyone give any guidance regarding analysis of the error log?
 * Any help would be much appreciated.

 * Die you have configured the “Maximum execution time” in BackWPup > Settings >
   Tab: Job. Try to begin with 30 secounds.

 * Hi Daniel,
 * I tried your suggestion and I’m afraid that the backup failed at the same point.
   
   Shall I increase or decrease the Maximum Execution Time? Do you have any other
   suggestions?
 * Thanks!

 * Decrease. We must find the point where the zipping fail. Try to make backups 
   with only the half of files and find out if it depends on a spezific folder. 
   You can see it better if you enable debug log in BackWPup > Settings > Tab: Log.

 * I decreased the Maximum Execution Time and had the same problem.
 * How do I make backups with half the files please?

 * Edit the Backup Job and go to files Tab. Than deselect for example Plugins or/
   and select excludes for uplads.
