 * Hello,
 * I found the following message appears in the UpdraftPlus log file. I think this
   would be solved in future, so just report as is. FYI, My server runs PHP version
   8.0.28
 *     ```wp-block-code
       0003.791 (0) PHP event: code E_DEPRECATED: Function mcrypt_decrypt() is deprecated (line 105, wp-content/plugins/updraftplus/includes/Dropbox2/OAuth/Storage/Encrypter.php)
       ```

 * Hi,
 * Deprecated notices are for information only, and do not affect the normal operation
   of the backup. These are to highlight PHP code methods and features which will
   be removed in a future version of PHP.
 * Future versions of UpdraftPlus will have updates to the code to address these
   deprecated notices.

 * The function `**mcrypt_decrypt**()` is only used if it is present. If you remove
   the deprecated php-mcrypt module from your PHP install, then it won’t be used,
   and you then won’t see the warning that it is being used – UD will instead use
   an alternative.
 * If present, it is used in preference to other alternatives because of how the
   compatibility between its output and that of alternatives works.
