 * Hi,
 * I always get one notification on Mondays saying my site is backed up. I backup
   to Google drive. Tonight I got 20 notifications so far each about 20 minutes 
   apart. I am not sure if action is required on my part-or is something wrong with
   your notification system. Thanks in advance.

 * Hi,
 * To help us work out the cause of your problem, can you please send us a copy 
   of some of the latest backup logs?
    These logs can be found in the Existing Backups
   tab of the UpdraftPlus dashboard.
 * The contents will be too long to post here directly, but you can use an online
   service such as pastebin, and post the links here.

 * Thank you. This is what is showing on the dash board. Here is the link to the
   log: [http://pastebin.com/VS1ypUhb](http://pastebin.com/VS1ypUhb)

   Have not yet obtained an access token from Google – you need to authorise or 
   re-authorise your connection to Google Drive.

 * I am checking into this and here is what it says under settings: (You appear 
   to be already authenticated, though you can authenticate again to refresh your
   access if you’ve had a problem). Not sure where to do that since it has been 
   a while since I set it up.
    It appears to have been working properly for two 
   years or so until about a week ago. I wonder if Google changed something or if
   one of the Updraft updates has made a difference. hanks for your assistance on
   this.

 * Hi,
 * What happens if you authenticate the Google Drive connection again? Do you see
   any errors?
 * The visitor warning occurs when UpdraftPlus is not receiving the resources it
   needs to trigger resumptions. [This guide](https://updraftplus.com/faqs/why-am-i-getting-warnings-about-my-site-not-having-enough-visitors/)
   gives further explanation and offers some possible solutions.

 * I can’t remember how to authenticate Google Drive. At the time I remember it 
   was difficult.

 * I looked at the guide you posted. I checked and I am getting some traffic. I 
   got 31 notifications tonight so far. I always backup on Mondays. Maybe I should
   backup less often. I need to try to re-authenticate-as soon as I figure out how.
   I don;t see a place on the dashboard to put the API keys.

 * When I click the link to try to authenticate I get ERROR: 400.
    That’s an error.

 * Hi,
 * This error indicates that the Redirect URI that is saved in the Google Project
   under Credentials does not match that which UpdraftPlus is sending.
 * In your Google Project, could you double check that the ‘Authorised redirect 
   URIs’ field (as shown in Step 4 of the [configuration guide](https://updraftplus.com/support/configuring-google-drive-api-access-in-updraftplus/))
   exactly matches the URI given in the UpdraftPlus Google Drive Settings?

 * OK thanks for your tips. Took me several tries and I had to create a new one.
   The step 4 of the configuration guide is what allowed me to do that. Then I backed
   up successfully. Here is the log file from that if you are interested in seeing
   it. Thanks so much. Love this plug-in. Not sure why it stopped working. [http://pastebin.com/DUbmwir6](http://pastebin.com/DUbmwir6://)
