[Plugin: WordPress Backup to Dropbox] Backup never finished

  • Hi,
    I’ve installed this plugin a few days ago and since then I tried to run it manually a few times, but first time, after a few files, it stopped at this one:
    /xmlrpc.php

    Since then, every time I try to run it, it always starts with this, and doesn’t progresses anywhere. At my Dropox account, the folder is created, but there’s nothing inside. Also, in the History of the plugin, it says “No backups performed yet”. I tried to deactivate and reactivate the plugin, delete the backup folder in Dropbox, but nothing seems to work.

  • Hi all,

    Does anyone know if the plugin is restricted by Media Temple? I’ve had some similar issues.

    I’m not having this problem, but in reading about it, I’m wondering if the sql db is actually being backed up. When I look on Dropbox and see the files, I don’t see anything that looks like it’s the database. What should I be looking for? (9.3)

    Mine shows up in wp-content/backups (the path is in the plugin’s settings)

    While this plugin did backup a lot of files, it still never competes. I’ve tried several times to use Backup Now, and while it has progressed here in there, overall it is hanging up and missing too many files to be used as an effective backup tool, with the exception of grabbing the sql file everytime with no issues.

    I am not finding that the plugin works at all. I should have had several backups placed in my Dropbox folder by now, and instead see only one. Not only that, but it doesn’t zip the files into a manageable entity, but instead, splatters all the files in the Dropbox. I have since replaced the plugin with another and will do the uploading to Dropbox manually. Too bad.

    Hmm – having the same issue.

    I am on media temple as well.

    Is there a trouble-shooting list?

    I’d really like to get this to work!

    Also seems weird that the History section log is not on the monitor page?

    Went to restore a folder and noticed my site has not been backed up properly for a while. This plugin isn’t working for me, I’m on mediatemple also.
