Odd Error with Backing Up

    Hello,

    I just installed the plugin and tried to run a backup. I get some weird messages. My folder is only 1.2 GB, confirmed by running du -hs on it. And the debug logs tell me once that it is 1 GB, and then tell me it is 2 GB.

    Here are the logs. I’m sorry for how verbose they are but I don’t want to miss anything.

    Sorry if I don’t format this right.

    Anyway, it seems like it tries to backup my wp-content folder, and only ends up adding like 4 MB. Then it says it can’t generate the backup. Very confused.

    The error is right here:

    [2017/02/04 10:04:03] 2 GB of diskspace will be processed.
    [2017/02/04 10:04:03] ERROR! PHP is unable to backup your wp-content folder. Please consider cleaning out unused files (like plugins and themes).

    It’s not backing up your DB or your files because they’re too large.

    But that’s happening because of this:

    [2017/02/04 10:02:50] NOTICE: If the log stops here, PHP failed to create a zip of your wp-content folder. Please consider increasing the server’s PHP memory, RAM, or CPU.

    It shouldn’t be trying twice, but it is within two minutes, so something is causing it to fail.

    If you have a Gig of data and you’re on a shared server, that would make sense :/ That’s a lot of work for a poor small server.

    No, I’m actually on DreamPress. So what can I do to get it to work?
