[Plugin: BackUpWordPress] Backup failed – 500 Internal Server Error

SQL file looks good at least.

OK the main just finished…5 gigs. Thats a little better. I removed a bunch of plugins that had been deactivated and were just sitting there. I am also removing and excluding stuff. I’ll update in a bit.

Well I have sent a few error logs…I have removed all kinds of unneccessary items from the server. I will try some more tomorrow.

Now my back ups are 18 gigs. It looked like there might have been error_log file that was making it so large but that has been deleted. My largest folder is my wp-includes folder. Are backups getting backed up as well? I know they aren’t supposed to…

What if I uninstall and remove the respective tables from SQL (phpMyAdmin)? Any ideas as to how to do that or another fix?

You can see what’s being backed up if you go to the schedule and then click on exclude. The backup folder should be excluded as well as any other large directories you don’t want backed up.

Hey all,
I don’t know if this will help, but I was struggling with the Internal Server Errors on my Go Daddy / WordPress sites as well. My problem ended up being a plugin conflict. After days of experimenting, the culprit was WP Super Cache that was causing the conflict. Once I deleted that, the site was up and running fine. So, the problem could be a plugin. Unfortunately, you might have to deactivate them one at a time to find out which one.
