Backup Size huge comared to AI1Backup

    I “upgraded” to Updraft because backup was removed from All-in-One Backups. under AI1 backup size was about 6.5-8G with Updraft it is running out of room with 20+G available.

    It seems that many files are being created during the backup process including 3 GZ files, many TMP files (that are huge), and when it competes successfully those are removed and replaces those with a few ZIP files, each one well over 1G.

    Is there a way to reduce the working file size, or is there a way to have updraft backup one section, then zip it, delete the TMP file, then work on the next one?

    Thanks

    Hi,

    It is possible that the backup is failing to complete. To help us work out the cause of your problem, can you please send us a copy of the backup log?
    This log can be found in the Existing Backups tab of the UpdraftPlus dashboard.
    If you cannot access the UpdraftPlus dashboard, then you can find the log file in the ‘wp-content/updraft’ directory via FTP or your hosts’ file manager.

    Best Wishes,
    Bryle

    Bryle,

    Is there a way to attach a text log file to this message?

    I’m reluctant to copy/paste the log as it is 301375 lines long!

    Looking at the log file it seems to move along addinf files for 1857 lines, then this:

    0302.862 (1) Beginning creation of dump of uploads (split every: 400 MB)
    0302.869 (1) File exists (/var/www/html/wp-content/updraft/backup_2023-03-18-2211_Send_in_the_Clowns_Online_Store_3a24b7e22bb5-uploads5.zip.tmp), but was not modified within the last 30 seconds, so we assume that any previous run has now terminated (time_mod=1679192096, time_now=1679192179, diff=83)
    0302.882 (1) Terminate: backup_2023-03-18-2211_Send_in_the_Clowns_Online_Store_3a24b7e22bb5-uploads5.zip.tmp.7asoga exists with activity within the last 30 seconds (time_mod=1679192179, time_now=1679192179, diff=0, size=1192292KB). This likely means that another UpdraftPlus run is at work; so we will exit.
    0302.897 (1) Rescheduling resumption 2: moving to 420 seconds from now (1679192599)
    0302.920 (1) To decrease the likelihood of overlaps, increasing resumption interval to: 300 + 120 = 420
    0333.708 (0) PHP event: code E_WARNING: ZipArchive::close(): Write error: No space left on device (line 4077, wp-content/plugins/updraftplus/backup.php)

    So it’s definitely running out of space, the question is how as there is over 20G when it starts.

    I suspect, that A1 might have left backups somewhere in your site , have you noticed any warning messages regarding “very large files” can you log into your site via FTP and check for any files that look like backups that are not in wp-content/updraft or search your log for “warning” and let me know what you find?

    Your archive split is set to 400 MB so you should not be getting files of more than 1GB unless you have these very large files.

    Alternatively, if you post the entire backup log I can check for you.
