Backup Plugin Error

    Hi there,

    First of all, I’d just like to say thanks to the developer for this module – it has the potential to be such an excellent addition to any WordPress blog.

    I’m experiencing a couple of problems with the module though.

    First of all – the backup isn’t getting transfered to my Google Drive (I’ve tried this on 3 of my blogs – and all with the same outcome):

    2012-05-20 14:36:26 NOTICE Attempting to upload archive to Google Drive
    2012-05-20 14:36:26 ERROR Failed to upload archive to Google Drive!

    Secondly, now that I have the maximum backups created (I’ve set this to be 3, I’m also getting another error:

    2012-05-20 14:36:40 NOTICE Attempting to create archive /home/theblogg/public_html/leestewie/wp-content/backup/1337524600.zip
    2012-05-20 14:36:47 ERROR There was a problem creating the zip file! /home/theblogg/public_html/leestewie/wp-content/plugins/backup/backup.php 290

    Thirdly, the frequencies appear to be incorrect. For example, I select ‘Monthly’ to be ‘When to Backup’ and for some reason the next Backup is going to be December?

    Any ideas?

    As I say, this is going to be a brilliant plugin – just seems there’s a couple of issues to still be ironed out (unless I’m being really thick – then I apologise!)

    Cheers,

    Lee

  • hello, i have two blogs. backup plugin works fine in my small blog (about 1MB database size and 45MB contents)
    But in other blog with 45MB database and 1.5GB files, it doesn’t work. it shows only a blank page when i choose Manual backup URL.

    my google drive free space is full. is that a problem of php.ini options?

    Hi pedal,

    The blank page you see is normal. That link is for people to use in cron jobs so it shouldn’t output anything.

    As for the problems you’re having with the backup of the larger site please take a look at the log file generated by the plugin (wp-content/backup/backup.log). If you need help you can paste the lines with errors here.

    For everyone reading this and wanting to post their issues: Please create a new thread if your issue is not the same or related to the one the original poster has.

    This way we keep things organized and easier to find.

    Thanks!

    Sorry for the thread jack.

    Lee,

    Please update the plugin to version 1.1.5 and see if it works.

    Hi again,

    Updated the plugin and there appears to be a php error:

    Warning: SimpleXMLElement::__construct() [simplexmlelement.–construct]: Entity: line 1: parser error : Start tag expected, ‘<‘ not found in /home/theblogg/public_html/leestewie/wp-content/plugins/backup/backup.php on line 550

    and the log is as below:

    So unfortunately, still some problems by the looks of it! ??

    Thanks for testing Lee. We’ll get to the bottom of this.

    Please update to version 1.1.6 and try again.

    No problem. Seems the error has moved onto line 559:

    this is my log file:

    Thanks

    @pedal As there are no errors in the backup.log file I assume the problem is that PHP ran out of memory. You should check the PHP error log to get a more accurate view on what’s happening. I would suggest increasing the memory limit in php.ini.

    @lee Are you trying to upload to a Google Drive folder? If so, are you sure you entered the correct ID for that folder?

    Also please tell me the version of PHP that you are running.

    Hi again,

    Yup – I’m trying to submit to a particular folder, and confirm that I’ve copied and pasted from the url (of all my blogs) after the #folders/

    My web server is running PHP version 5.2.17

    Just so you know, I’ve tried 1.1.6 on my other blogs and I get the same errors.

    Cheers,

    Lee

    Could you try and upload to the root folder ( leave the folder ID field empty ) and see if that works?

    Tried that, but I’m still getting the errors:
