 * Hi,
 * I’m a totally non-technical person and a wordpres newbie – your guidance is appreciated
   in advance 🙂
    I have UpdraftPlus (free version) set to make full backups of 
   my wordpress installation (hosted on Cloudways – i.e., no cPanel) every 12 hours.
   After switching my site to https a couple of weeks ago (and installing Really
   Simple SSL plugin), the emails I receive about successfully completed backups
   show the backups being done to http AND https (from 20 backups done in the last
   10 days only 5 are for https, the rest are for http.
 * I have set the url address & site address to https in Settings > General and 
   on the web there’s no http version of my site.
 * How can Updraft back up [http://www.brainyweightloss.com](http://www.brainyweightloss.com)
   instead of [https://www.brainyweightloss.com](https://www.brainyweightloss.com),
   when the former does not exist any longer?
 * Thanks!
    Alex

 * Hi Alex,
 * Can you try wiping out UpdraftPlus settings in the “Advance Tools” tab?
    Then
   run a new backup? Does it still say http?

 * [@bcrodua](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bcrodua/), thank you for your 
   reply.
 * After doing a manual backup, which was done for the https, the scheduled ones
   are also for https only – at least for the last couple of days. So I won’t (yet)
   wipe out the settings in the Advance Tools yet, which frankly I don’t feel comfortable
   doing for fear of not breaking something, but will need to try if backups start
   again being done for http.
 * Many thanks,
    Alex

 * Not to worry, Wipe settings will not erase/remove the existing backups.
 * If you Wipe settings and re-configure the settings in UpdraftPlus > Settings,
   then re-run the backup process and check if it helps.
 * Thanks,

 * [@bornforphp](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bornforphp/), thanks for the
   reassurance, Harshad.
 * The issue seems to have settled – at least for now, after doing a manual backup
   on the 1st of May. Since then, the 7 scheduled backups were done for https only–
   yay!
 * If the issue re-appears I will wipe and re-configure settings as instructed here.
 * Thank you so much for your help Bryle and Harshad, I appreciate it!
