    Hi,
    I have moved a site to a host that does not allow lookback connections.

    This means I am receiving the following BackWPup errors when trying to run a back-up:

    Server self connect: The HTTP response test get an error “Failure when receiving data from the peer”
    Log folder: Logs folder /wp-content/uploads/Backup_Logs/ not exist.

    How I do to fix this problem, so I can back-up as usual?

    Thanks, Chris

    You can try to activate the alternative cron in wp-config.php. See: https://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Alternative_Cron

    Than backups can work but they can need some time if they run with schedule.

    Daniel Hi,
    Thanks for the reply.
    I have added in

    define(‘ALTERNATE_WP_CRON’, true);

    into the wp-config.php file.

    Now when I run a job the screen goes white, except of a -2 in the top-left.

    What else can I try to get my favorite backup plug-in to work, on a server where loop-back connections are not allowed.

    Many thanks, Chris

    Unfortunately, your suggestion does not work.

    Do you have any other possible solutions?

    Thanks, Chris

    You can try the cronservice from easycron. That backup can take longer as normal.
