Hello WPNYC – I have been using Backup Buddy for several years without a problem….this week I have had 2 issues.

Currently, I am trying to do a complete backup and I keep getting a “ping, waiting for server”

I posted in the backup buddy forum but who know how long that will take…..any suggestions will help.

Below is the top of the running code:

I’ve had issues with my backup buddy too since the latest updates. They just released one today so hopefully it works

[Vincent Gentile]

Hi AKZ……I removed the old version and uploaded the new version (new a few weeks back) and everything worked again……little scarey to depend on a plugin so much, but it’s great for moving from staging to live very quickly.

Come to the WordPress Brooklyn Meetup on plugins Tuesday, 3/12.

I’ll share a free plugin thats excellent for migrating staging sites and all sites… and it does back-ups too.
