 * Hi Kim,
 * It appears to be a file permission issue, meaning UpdraftPlus or WordPress does
   not have the correct read or write permission to a certain folder or file.
 * The following article on Smashing Magazine is a good guide as to the file permissions/
   ownerships that are required for WordPress: [https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2014/05/proper-wordpress-filesystem-permissions-ownerships/#file-and-folder-ownership-for-wordpress](https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2014/05/proper-wordpress-filesystem-permissions-ownerships/#file-and-folder-ownership-for-wordpress)
 * Kind Regards,
    Bryle
