 * Hi There,
    I am also getting the problem where when the job is scheduled, it 
   gets stuck at ‘Creating Zip Archive’. I have the latest version as well – 2.1.3.
   I have the schedule set to weekly, but it seems when I look at the backup folder,
   it is trying nightly and getting stuck..
 * Any thoughts?

 * I am experiencing the same issue. Running WP 3.4.2 and version 2.1.3 of BackUpWordPress.
   Have tried the backup on Safari and Firefox. I am able to backup the database,
   but unable to backup the files.
    Appreciate your help. Thanks.
 * When I run Backup Now – it says it is “Starting Backup” yet I never see a file
   when it’s complete.
