How much temporary space does it need for a full backup

Hi roulisww,

That sounds a very possible scenario – see https://updraftplus.com/faqs/how-much-free-disk-space-do-i-need-to-create-a-backup/.

I can think of some techniques to try to delete temporary files faster to more aggressively use the available space, but to begin with I’d need you to post a log file – please click on the ‘latest log link’ near the top of the page, and use pastebin.com to post it so that I can take a look.

Best wishes,
David

Here is the logfile but as far as i can tell it just stopped with many .tmp files in the folder which it deleted them afterwards.

Hi roulisww,

Is that the end of the log? It indicates that more should have taken place later. But yes, concerning the main issue, it looks likely that it’s running out of disk space. As explained in https://updraftplus.com/faqs/how-much-free-disk-space-do-i-need-to-create-a-backup/, when operating on zip files, PHP creates temporary files that it doesn’t tell the program (in this case UpdraftPlus about) – so we need to do some clever guess work to clear them up. I’ll try to get an updated version to you later that is more aggressive in the clearing. Can you just confirm that there’s nothing more in the log file?

David

yes there is nothing more to that logfile.
But, in the past, one time i tried to backup site (i can’t find the logfile) it kept repeating itself about the resumption to 465 and nothing more.

Hi roulisww,

Reading through that log file in detail, there’s something strange about your WordPress install’s scheduler. I can see not only a scheduled task which never happens (on run (9)), but run (1) invokes a couple of minutes before the time that the WP scheduler was asked to invoke it.

a) Do you have any other plugins that may be doing something with the scheduler? Please disable them before retrying.

b) Please can you update to the development version – https://updraftplus.com/faqs/devversion

It stops before end as the previous version.

Hi roulisww,

The pastebin link has expired since being posted – please can you post afresh?

Many thanks,
David

Hi roulisww,

We’ve just finished testing a big chunk of new code that should help you. It adds a new feature to UpdraftPlus, that allows zip files to be split up at user-defined intervals. By default, it splits zip files every 1Gb.

If you want to try it out, then just update to the development version:

Please do let us know how you get on!
