 * With BackWPup 3.0.2 and 3.0.3 the backup process simply doesn’t start, even when
   starting it manually.
 * Also no logs or protocol, nothing.
 * Any ideas?

 * Still doesn’t work with 3.0.4
 * Also tried deactivating and re-activating the plugin, to no avail.
 * PS: I appreciate the answers, thanks!
