Date glitch?

    Hello again ??

    So after some mucking about, I was able to successfully backup the site that was causing me trouble while using a different plugin #winning

    I had to do it in two pieces, and curiously, the database shows in the list of backups correctly, but the files show up with an odd date and no file size. I will test some more, but the only thing I can think of is that I launched the backup before the file size calculation had finished (it had been spinning for a while and I got impatient). So maybe that has to do with it. The zip file on the server looks to be the right size, so this is only a display issue as far as I can tell.

    Again, will do more mucking and send feedback.

    Here’s a screenshot.

    cheers,

    Hey ??

    So my best guess is that your backup is over 2GB and your on a server running a 32bit version of PHP?

    If so it’s a known issue we need to fix: https://github.com/humanmade/backupwordpress/issues/430

    If that can’t be the issue (because you’re not on a 32bit version of PHP or the backup is smaller than 2GB then there must be something else going on, if so, would love to debug and fix!

    The size of the backup in the list and the site size calculating message aren’t connected, it should just read the size by stating the backup file directly (which is what fails on 32it systems as they can’t stat files larger than 2GB).

    Hi Tom,

    Yes – files are a little over 2Go and server is running 32bit php. :\

    Saving these has files has worked once out of several tries – despite the date glitch, the zip is on the server with what looks to be correct file size (though I haven’t actually verified the files, downloading 2Go on my 3Mo connection would be painful).

    Have tried excluding everything non essential but unfortunately it’s still coming up over 2Go…

    Will test the plugin on others sites though where I’ve had difficulties in other areas (like long file names, etc). No one size fits all solution for backups!

    cheers!
