"No backup has been completed"

Oh and where it says “Backups, logs & restoring:” It says this: “0 set(s) available”

Hi Tina,

10Gb would be a record… but anyway, what you need to do is use pastebin.com to post the most recently modified log. Use the link towards the top of the UpdraftPlus page to download the log, and then post the pastebin.com link here.

I really have no idea why it’s so dang big. Guess I have some cleaning to do in there. I really don’t think it should be that big! Anyway, here’s the link: https://pastebin.com/KKRpx34H

That’s twice as large as any website I’ve ever seen…

The log shows me that what’s causing UpdraftPlus to choke is a file that’s 3Gb in size, somewhere in your wp-content directory. You need to find that file and do something with it!

Another thing to do would be to add 7f0bc69553-backups to the list of things to exclude from the backup of ‘other’ entities – looks like a folder belonging to another backup plugin. Backups of backups = things balloon in size.

David

OK I deleted that 3GB file (after downloading it to my computer…it’s a backup file from another backup plugin)…and I’m re-running Updraft.

I just got this message:
Last log message: The backup has not finished; a resumption is scheduled within 5 minutes

Is that supposed to happen?

Hi Tina,

That’s quite normal. Most web hosting companies only allow code to run for a short amount of time. So backup programs have to schedule to resume from where they left off. Give the backup about 2 hours, and then check on its progress then.

David

2 HOURS? Wow. It takes that long?

Hi Tina,

That depends on how big your site is, and how many resources your web host allocates to your site, and the speed of the link between your server and the cloud storage. The smallest sites back up in 30 seconds!

David

OK, just got this error message now:

Error: Received response code ‘400 Bad Request’ while trying to get ‘https://docs.google.com/feeds/default/private/full/https://drive.google.com/?pli=1&authuser=0#folders/0B3ad2KUS8hxPbVp4UGJlVW5ObjQ’. Response body: GDatainvalidRequestUriInvalid request URI
backup_2013-06-21-1227_non_alpha_name_7023a4c6d782-db.gz: Failed to upload to Google Drive

I had actually taken Google Drive off as a place to back it up, because it gave a longer error message before all because of Google Drive, so I thought maybe I didn’t have enough room there….so if I don’t have a backup place set, why is it still erroring on Google Drive?

Here’s the new log:
https://pastebin.com/fpEEWV7U

Hi Tina,

It looks like you entered something invalid in the ‘folder ID’ field in UpdraftPlus – you’ve entered a whole URL, but should have just entered the last part (0B3ad2KUS8hxPbVp4UGJlVW5ObjQ).

If you changed your configuration to not use Google Drive, then the error must be coming from a backup run that started before you made that change (backup runs don’t change cloud storage mid-run).

David

OK, fixing that and we’ll see how it goes. Thanks! I’ll let ya know!

It seems to have finally worked! THANK YOU!!!

You’re welcome!

David
