 * I am getting the following error across 3 different sites. Back up is on the 
   server but will not load to Google Drive, was happening without any problems 
   until a few days ago.
 * Any help is appreciated.

 * Hi,
 * That message indicates that the CURL request is timing out
 * Could you check with your hosts to see why that is?
 * Best Wishes,

 * Hi, thanks for your quick reply. Here is the response from the hosts:
 * “I was working on this case earlier and confirm i shut off PHP-FPM for the site
   in troubleshooting the issue. The reason being that PHP-FPM is memory intensive,
   and being on a VPS it is not generally recommended. I also adjusted the PHP configuration
   for max_execution_time, post_max_size, and upload_max_filesize, all of which 
   did not help the issue. I found the following article on the issue and none of
   the recommendations worked:

 * I also read numerous forum posts from other updraftplus users that are experiencing
   the same issue with uploading to Google drive, most without a resolution. There
   is nothing blocking connections to Google Drive from your server, and the fact
   that the logs show authentication is successful leads me to believe this is either
   an issue with the plugin itself or Google throttling connections to drive. Unfortunately
   this is not something we can resolve. I would suggest contacting the Updraftplus
   support team for resolution of this issue.”
 * The same set up with Dropbox works perfectly. It just seems to be an issue with
   Google Drive. Shame I have already upgraded my storage there and need to use 
   it.

 * Hi,
 * The error message means that there is no network connectivity in between the 
   site and Google Drive. As such, almost all the things that your hosting provider
   looked at aren’t relevant. They need to investigate why there’s no network connectivity
   between the server and Google Drive. If Dropbox works, then that shows that there
   is network connectivity between the server and Dropbox.
 * Best wishes,
    David

 * Just to be clear: networking connectivity isn’t something that can be fixed by
   tweaking things within the site. It’s something at the server level.

 * Hi, thanks for the reply. There is some network connectivity because in the last
   5 or so attempts 4 of the 5 backup files did upload, albeit very slowly with 
   many restarts. The plugin file never uploads. However, that error was appearing
   frequently and the back up never fully completes.

 * Hi,
 * Apologies for the delay.
 * Please could you send us a copy of the latest backup log?
 * The contents will be too long to post here directly, but you can use an online
   service such as Pastebin, and post the link here.

 * Hi,
 * Many thanks, I just tried to run it again, the first four files uploaded, albeit
   very slowly and with the same errors. The plugin file always gets stuck and the
   resumption times become too long to wait for it too finish. It is a simple site
   and the dropbox upload happens within seconds.
 * Here is the latest log:

 * Hi,
 * Apologies again for the delay.
 * I’m afraid that the log is still showing intermittent network issues.
    This suggests
   that there is a networking issue between your site and Google servers specifically.
 * I’m afraid that you will need to ask your hosts/server admin to investigate, 
   as there is nothing that can be configured on the plugin side to fix this.
