 * I am testing UpdraftPlus to help with regular backups to our site. I was able
   to unzip all of the backups except the Uploads file. This is the error I am seeing:
 * kdL-mbPro:summer karen$ unzip backup_2019-01-05-1815_Nitartha_Summer_Institute_b2050fbacfe7-
   uploads.zip
    Archive: backup_2019-01-05-1815_Nitartha_Summer_Institute_b2050fbacfe7-
   uploads.zip End-of-central-directory signature not found. Either this file is
   not a zipfile, or it constitutes one disk of a multi-part archive. In the latter
   case the central directory and zipfile comment will be found on the last disk(
   s) of this archive. unzip: cannot find zipfile directory in one of backup_2019-
   01-05-1815_Nitartha_Summer_Institute_b2050fbacfe7-uploads.zip or backup_2019-
   01-05-1815_Nitartha_Summer_Institute_b2050fbacfe7-uploads.zip.zip, and cannot
   find backup_2019-01-05-1815_Nitartha_Summer_Institute_b2050fbacfe7-uploads.zip.
   ZIP, period.

 * Hi,
 * To help us work out the cause of your problem, can you please send us a copy 
   of the restoration log?
    You can find this log in the ‘wp-content/updraft’ directory
   of your site via FTP. You can send the log file as an attachment or copy the 
   contents into an online tool (such as [http://pastebin.com/](http://pastebin.com/))
 * Best Wishes,
    Harshad
