How do I know whether the backup worked correctly, everything is backed up?

    Hello there!

    I am following one of the tutorials (dated 2017) on how to backup my WordPress site with UpdraftPlus and I am not getting a “Success” and “You Dropbox quota usage” message in the left top corner of my WordPress dashboard as it shows up in the tutorial.
    Is this happenning because of UpdraftPlus change of interface or is it not working properly?

    Initially, during setting everything up, I noticed there were some messages during backing up saying something like it timed out so I had to do “Complete setup” twice. At the same time I see it backed up in Dropbox. How can I check everything is working correctly, everything is backed up? My host has a Lightspeed server hence my concern.

    I get this Warning: “Your website is hosted using the LiteSpeed web server.” Can I actually get rid of this message?

    Last log message: Terminate: This backup job is already finished (1). (Jun 20 08:08:56). After manual backup I got this message: The backup apparently succeeded and is now complete (Jun 20 10:19:09).

    Thank you!

    Hi,

    You should be seeing a warning or error message in the “Backup/Restore” tab if the backup has failed to complete.

    “The backup apparently succeeded and is now complete (Jun 20 10:19:09).”
    > This message is saying that UpdraftPlus has successfully backed up your site. You should see all the components in the backup (database, themes, uploads, plugins and others).
