    Sorry, I wasn’t able to get back to this before. Here is an extract from the log for the latest backup. All I get in the Zip is /wp-content/upgrade/434ce59e0104f0258fd4c5ebb459a67e-dreamobjects-backup and that is dated 15/08/2018

    That’s why.

    Yeah, but it isn’t very helpful. If I want a backup, I want a backup. I don’t want the backup telling me what it will and will not back up. There might be plugins I use from time to time that are currently inactive. Or there might be themes I want to have around for testing.

    I do not recall this ever being a problem in the past with DreamObjects.

    This is mentioned in the FAQ as well, but PHP CANNOT backup a folder that big. The code literally cannot process 2 gigs, it’s not possible at this time due to PHP limitations.

    You have to clean up your content folder for this to work, or use an incremental backup tool like VaultPress. I’m sorry, but it’s like trying to put diesel in a regular gas car. Won’t work.

    OK, thanks. I did actually put petrol in my diesel car, so I know what you are talking about.

    Any idea what the maximum size is?
