 * Using multisite WP 3.8
 * Cannot create a job. Once I press submit, the message “job created” appears but
   all fields have been reset and no job was created. Unusable.

 * It looks like my current problem is not related to original problem for this 
   thread.
 * I’m going to clear out and start new threads for my ERROR: Signal 15 problem 
   and my Dropbox API: (59) Unknown cipher error.

 * Hi, I installed the 3.1.2-beta3 version. Now I can create new tasks, but the 
   backup by itself is not working properly:
 * [31-jan-2014 13:37:00] Database backup done!
    [31-jan-2014 13:37:00] 1. Tentative
   de création de liste des répertoires à sauvegarder … [31-jan-2014 13:37:00] AVERTISSEMENT:
   json_encode(): Invalid UTF-8 sequence in argument [31-jan-2014 13:37:00] AVERTISSEMENT:
   json_encode(): Invalid UTF-8 sequence in argument [31-jan-2014 13:37:00] Ajout“
   wp-config.php” à la liste des fichiers à sauvegarder [31-jan-2014 13:37:00] 2657
   folders to backup.
 * And the archive doesn’t contain the files…

 * [@jroussel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jroussel/): did you have a folder
   with special chars in it ?

 * The beta fixed the issue with not being able to save under multiuser environment.

 * Jobs can now be created in multisite …. but compression still seems to be an 
   issue.
