Updated plugin to version 3.1.3.
Got the same as well with message in WP admin – “ERROR: Step aborted: too many attempts!”
Standout Error seemed to be this – “ERROR: Dropbox API: (401) Access token not found.”
Solution for Backup to Dropbox…
Use Tar GZip.
Delete Dropbox access code and re-authenticate with full access.
Run backup.
Worked fine on all nine sites I administer.
Same here. Error log is like this:
1. Try to send backup file to Dropbox …

[13-Kas-2014 08:15:41] 2. Try to send backup file to Dropbox …

I’ve reverted back to the previous version and it’s working properly again. If others also want to revert, this is the link: https://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/backwpup.3.1.2.zip
I’m really tired of developers rolling updates without properly testing. This has happened to me too much recently, I’m using at least 5 old versions of other plugins because new versions are broken. Don’t change something if it’s not broke!
Thanks for the answer – I am trying to backup to a directory, on the web server and have tried email but it fails with both methods.
Hi,
updated to 3.1.3 and the error is
FEHLER: Dropbox-API: (401) Access token not found.

For the Dropbox problem please make a ne authentication with dropbox. I have updated to oAuth2 and normely the update shuold work automaticliy, but it looks like it will sometimes fail.
Hi,
I have just upgraded to version 3.1.4 and my backup is still not working.
DB backup is working but if I try to backup my WP db and files I am still getting an error message: The HTTP response test get an error “Operation timed out after 15000 milliseconds with 0 bytes received”
I had a look at the settings and am getting this error on ‘Server Self connect’: The HTTP response test get an error “Operation timed out after 15000 milliseconds with 0 bytes received”
Any help?
Thanks
@myriadp: did you using cloudflar or similar?
Hi – no just trying to save backup onto hosting server.
I need more details to you Hosting (PHP ver, Webserver, …)
same for me – this plugin no longer works.
3.1.3, 3.1.4 and 3.1.5-beat2 will not allow me to create backups anymore. There are several threads about these problems already. I went back to 3.1.2 and at least can make backups again.
Not sure what the big problem is… Changes made to version 3.1.3 broke things. It should not be that hard to troubleshoot…
