    No worries, this is why I am here anwar79! 

     

    You should be able to open your Backup page by accessing the home page, clicking on the burger icon on the top left, and then Backup.

     

    Let me know if you need anything else!

Hi anwar79, welcome to our Community! 

 

Let's see what we can find together. Can you check your Backup page online, and let me know what it reports there? 

 

Keep me posted, and we'll take it from there!

Megan you're an angel 👼.

I had exactly the same problem as Anwar, & everything the automated answers from the 'Chat Help' robot told me to do, DIDN'T help me at all.

Then I found your post & it was sorted in 2 mins.

Thank you sooooooooooo much 😁
