[Plugin: Online Backup for WordPress] Creating a backup erased pages of text!

  • i have been having issues with the backup because it continues to have an unexpected stop every time I’ve scheduled a backup. I also hadn’t received a confirmation from the vault storage so i created a new login ID. Finally I got a confirmation. So I tried again today and it failed to complete because my website is apparently larger than the free vault storage. maybe i can upgrade but now i’m scared because pages have been erased.

    The real problem is that pages of text have been partially erased!
    my bio, detailed information about my company. This is a nightmare! now I’m wondering if I re-create them, how do I insure that they are not erased again? How do I safely back up my site?? i really need help. this is going to take me hours to re-write and re-create those pages! help!

    Hi Deborah,

    If you’ve got the tracing one installed now, just follow the remainder of the instructions I gave you. I cannot see your blog or access it so I cannot verify anything for you.

    Once installed, set up the settings again and try to run a backup again.

    A file will be generated: /wp-content/plugins/wponlinebackup/trace.log
    If you can download this via FTP, and then delete it, then compress and email it to support “at” backup-technology.co.uk it will help us find the issue.

    To compress in Windows just right-click it and “Send to -> Compressed zip file”, on a Mac it would be right-click and “Compress”.

    Kind Regards,

    Jason.

    just checking, when i specify the backup type, it should be as a download to the computer, correct?

    If that is what is causing the error, yes. Once you reproduce the error, you can retrieve the trace.log as described, compress it, then email it to us as described.
