    I’ve recently moved wp-config.php up one level for security reasons. Any ideas ? If I run the backup manually, it works fine, but not from wp-cron.

    Thanks

    Interestingly, if I run the backup from the admin console, it works fine – it seems to be an issue when running from the CRON. I have disabled wp-cron, and am using CRONTAB instead as below

    /usr/bin/php-5.6-cli -q /var/sites/c/domain_name/public_html/wp-cron.php

    Can you send me a deteiled log. I think we must go setp by step to see what goes wrong. Use https://docs.backwpup.com/article/48-sending-in-log-files-for-the-support for this.

    I also have the same Problem.

    Since 21th june I have the same problems like oldmankit with backups from two different Homepages from two differen Hosters.

    I don’t use Wordfence I’m using iThemes Security, after deactivating iThemes Security the problem still exist.

    Homepage 1
    5 Backups with 5 different Errormessages (PID)

    I have the same Problem on a few websites.
    I use a cron job to make a automated backup and save the zip file on a external FTP-Server.

    SYSTEM INFO
    BackWPup 3.3.4
    WordPress 4.7
    MySQL 5.5
    PHP 5.6
