 * Hello,
 * I installed your plugin on my blog. But there’s always a zip-error during the
   backup-process.
 * I tried to find the mistake … but unfortunately without any success.
 * Would be very kind of you, if you can have a look on my log-file: [http://pastebin.com/DaL22Kqj](http://pastebin.com/DaL22Kqj)
 * Thanks a lot for your support!

 * Hi,
 * In the log, it says:
 * > 0019.602 (0) Binary zip: error (code: 9 – look it up in the Diagnostics section
   > of the zip manual at [http://www.info-zip.org/mans/zip.html](http://www.info-zip.org/mans/zip.html)
   > for interpretation… and also check that your hosting account quota is not full)
 * That URL says that error code 9 means:
 * > 9 – the user aborted zip prematurely with control-C (or similar)
 * So, someone killed the zip process – either manually, or perhaps there is something
   automated on your server that does that.
 * If you’re not sure how to prevent that, then switch to a different zip engine
   by adding this to your wp-config.php:
 * define(‘UPDRAFTPLUS_NO_BINZIP’, true);
 * Best wishes,
    David

 * Hi David,
 * thanks a lot for your help!
 * I tried again, without pressing any key … just to be sure, that I didn’t kill
   anything manually last time. Good for me, not so good for the backup: same result
   than last time.
 * After I added your code snippet to my wp-config.php, everything works fine!
 * That means: Thanks – Topic resolved:)
