 * This is the first time I’m seeing this type of warning. I’m getting the following
   warning when backuping up WordPress files:
 * Warnings: 9 Errors: 0
    Display working log close WARNING: File name “wp-content/
   cache/minify/000000/dc1LDoAgDEXRDanVJQlUxc-rKW2Iu5c4d35u7kQ72z3Hgy5JfnKheq8qm3QjWWXYs4irMYP2QosjWhaUrooeGWvTfUY8PbWyAUdiLVGUhyvjT4X2C4LPvA.
   js.gzip” is too long to be saved correctly in TarGz archive!
 * I deactivated W3TC plugin but the warning persists. I use Backwpup on other sites
   and never saw this warning before. This is the only site that uses Godaddy web
   hosting.
 * Could someone tell me why this is happening?
