Backup started taking a long time

    3 months, 4 weeks ago

    My backups normally complete within a minute but over the last few days they are taking between 20 and 25 minutes.

    I have set-up a Cron job every 5 minutes and my hosting Company has added this to my .htaccess but they still take a long time.

    # BEGIN GURU NO-TIMEOUT
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteRule ^wp-cron.php$ - [E=noabort:1]
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^(.*)?wp-admin
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} ^.*wordpress_logged_in_.*$
    RewriteRule .* - [E=noabort:1]
</IfModule>
# END GURU NO-TIMEOUT

    Is there anything else I can try to resolve this please?

    Thanks.

    Hi Ian,

    Could you please include a log file from one of the slow backups so we can review it?
    You can use a service like Pastebin to share the backup log file. https://pastebin.com/

    Best regards,

    Nick

    Hi Ian,

    Thank you for the log file.

    The connection appears to have been broken a couple of times which caused a delay.
    The hosting company look to have already addressed one known issue with the server.

    To increase performance the server could have more memory as it’s only 256MB now.
    You could lower the Cron-job interval to 1 minute to ensure a more regular trigger.

    To squeeze more performance out you could also adjust the split archives every size.
    You can adjust this in Settings >> Expert settings >> Show expert settings. Try 25MB.

    These would be my fist suggestions. I hope they can help bring the speed up again.
    Please let me know if the adjustments help, it may also help others with the issue too.

    Best regards,

    Nick

    I adjusted the split to 25mb and changed the cron-job to every 1 minute.

    Backups now completing within a minute.

    Thanks.
