If any of the terminal commands error, try adding sudo, could be a permission issue. Also you might want to test it using SpiderOak вЂ“batchmode вЂ“ that just runs once. Always change it back, though.ДЄlso SpiderOak sometimes doesnвЂ™t start immediately, or complain itвЂ™s already running, so вЂsudo killall SpiderOakвЂ™ and restart the server (#5 above). Try and avoid setting anything to 777 вЂ“ itвЂ™s really dangerous, but you might need to do that for a few seconds to test something. ItвЂ™s too involved to detail here but search on making chown and chmod changes recursively, there are useful find statements that change permissions according to types of file. If there is an error one solution is to have a special вЂwebвЂ™ group ownership on your web directories, or change the user to be the correct one, with 644 permission for files and 750 for directories. Check that the user you are running your webserver in has permissions to write to your directory вЂ“ a good way to do this is to try and save a in Settings, as WordPress needs to write to. If there are any problems, IвЂ™ve found they are usually to do with ownership of files, and/or permissions. Well maybe not, but be happy that Dropbox canвЂ™t spy on your shit. Look in Devices вЂ“ should be one with the name you gave it during the setup.

Run your BackWPUp job, and look to see if it appears in your client.

DonвЂ™t forget to add that line to your cron for when you reboot, I have it as a statement as detailed here.

The OSX client sucks arse too, actuallyвЂ¦but you donвЂ™t need that many bells and whistles for backups. SpiderOak has REALLY crap documentation, but the inline вЂ“help is good.

Chmod the directory with 770 permissions so itвЂ™s not public вЂ“ 700 kicks up an error, and so does the standard 750 so I guess group write is needed? Name the folder something not easily guessable just in case. Make a folder in the root of your WordPress install, or any subdirectory inside that directory.

How to use SpiderOak with BackWPUp on a VPS (I am assuming you already have an account already, if not sign up with my referral link and weвЂ™ll both get an extra 1Gb) Also IвЂ™m on Ubuntu, I donвЂ™t think any of this differs on other Linux flavours, but it might be good to keep that in mind.ДЄlso I suspect any backup plugin or script which can backup to a folder on your server вЂ“ which is any of them I bet вЂ“ could be used, not just BackWPUp. I worked out how though, be warned this is pretty geeky and meant to be for those who have Virtual Personal Servers (VPSes) and have root/shell access to your system вЂ“ if you donвЂ™t know what that means, then I canвЂ™t help you. Hence wanting to switch to SpiderOak who encrypt their storage space and donвЂ™t have keys to it for some of my backups, but big problem: not many apps or plugins support it, especially not BackWPup WordPress Plugin which I use. Hacking is still an issue with any online service, but if youвЂ™re not transmitting passwords nor making it easy for disgruntled employees or NSA to go through your stuff, thatвЂ™s a big plus. Allegedly some of the photos had been deleted, but had been restored by analysing the disk space for the files, an act that would be nigh-on impossible if the data was encrypted. This was demonstrated most dramatically with the hacked nude photos, 4chan as ever staying classy like with the nasty #gamergate. Problem with Dropbox is many-fold, like iCloud and others there isnвЂ™t any encryption, and you just have to trust that Apple, Google, Dropbox, Microsoft or others wonвЂ™t rifle through your stuff. Well not entirely, but IвЂ™ve been switching backups and data away from Dropbox for a while, given what Edward Snowden said, and the fact that Condi вЂSpy on youвЂ™ Rice is now on the board.
