That plugin will get disabled and site will be up and running. * I am in the same boat.

Paul de Wouters, what steps do I take to remove the Plugin via FTP?

From there the path to the plugin will something like `/wp-content/ plugins/backupwordpress/`. * You’ll want to delete the entire `/backupwordpress` directory. * Cheers, Owain * [carlosaperez](https://wordpress.org/support/users/carlosaperez/) * (@carlosaperez) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-crashed-site-when-updated-on-41/#post-5691073) * Thanks, Cuvelier. * QQQ for thread/group. Is the 3.1.1 release working OK for those who have PHP 5.3.2? Does that fix it, or is there still a bugfix coming for those of us running a lower PHP version? * Plugin Contributor [Paul de Wouters](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pauldewouters/) * (@pauldewouters) * [11 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-crashed-site-when-updated-on-41/#post-5691080) * BackUpWordPress version 3.1.2 is out.
