I have the exact same problem, but only with the database backup job.
I have only 2 jobs: 1 for the files and 1 for the database.
For me, the database job actually runs 6(!) times, some with an error, some not.
Also, the upload to SugarSync fails quite frequently, with the error “[ERROR] SugarSync API: cUrl Error: couldn’t connect to host”.
Could you maybe add an option to retry the upload, like once or twice?
Besides these problems, I really am happy with your plugin, it’s definitely the best available! Thanks for sharing it with us.
Do either of you use W3 Total Cache?
I believe that Daniel is investigating a potential issue working with W3 Total Cache.
(I have the same problem as you describe too Bobtb)
I don’t use it, nor do I use any other “speed optimization” plugins.
one littel think i will fix with the next release that a job cane run too time at the same time. But W3 Total Cache forces a backup comes saverel times.
My fix came in my in the next day….
I’m not sure if you’re saying there’s a fix for this issue now, but if you are, is it related to W3 Total Cache?
Because I’m not using that, will it still work for me?

Anything new regarding this issue?
My database backup job still run 4 times.
Just upgraded to the latest version.
Looks even better than it did already, great job Daniel!
I’ll keep an eye out on the number of DB backups 😉
i will make a next try for W3 total chache, i have removed all chache prevention. Because i have become 2 plugin that workt with w3 total.
Good news! Both my backup jobs only ran once and they completed without any error!
Great job.
did you use the development version ?
I don’t think so, I’ve only been updating through the WP dashboard.
i need a test with the development version thre are some changes.
