I think between when I posted this message and now, my shared hosting was migrated to a new server–and I -believe- backups are completing successfully now. I checked the perms on the routine files, they both have user execute permissions.
I am still having issues, though, and have been getting inconsistent patterns with three consecutive runs (deleting/renaming the most recent backup before rerunning):
First run, when the backup was done running, I didn’t get a “close window” button at the bottom of the activity log window. It seemed to still be loading or something, since text selection from this window was resetting every few seconds.
Halfway through “Step 4” (Archiving website files), I get some output on the “Run Backup” page (not the activity window). The buttons (create backup through view error log) get duplicated on the page, with the following text in the middle (edited to remove identifying info):
riverwalker", t, "scrollbars=yes,width=700,height=700"); return true; } function createTarget1(a1){ window.open("https://server/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-ez-backup/functions/logs/viewlog.php?key=sqlusername", a1, "scrollbars=yes,width=700,height=700"); return true; } function createTarget2(b2){ window.open("https://server/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-ez-backup/functions/logs/errorlog.php?key=sqlusername", b2, "scrollbars=yes,width=700,height=700"); return true; }
Nothing seems to be displaying in the error log, though, and clicking the “view log file” after running displays the log with the close button present.
The second time I ran the backup, the above code did not display on the page, but the close button on the activity log still did not display at the end of the run.
The third time, I -did- get a close button, and the code on the page did not display, but the buttons were still duplicated.
Some of the above might be slightly incorrect since I didn’t screenshot everything (I was expecting reproducible behavior) but the point is there’s inconsistent behavior from the activity window, and the view log and create backup buttons redisplay themselves on the Run Backup page, occasionally displaying other raw PHP in plaintext.
