UpdraftPlus Corrupt Uploads ZIP file
-
UpdraftPlus (UP) is corrupting large ZIP files. I found this out when attempting to restore a client’s site that had been taken down due to missed hosting payment to GoDaddy. I set up a new WP install and UP, copied the last UP backup set to the UP folder and attempted RESTORE. All files restored correctly except for the “uploads” file, 233mb. Checking the zip file locally showed a corrupt file that could not be unzipped without using a premium tool, which repaired the file so I could access the folders and content, which were intact. Then, I manually restored the content to the server’s wp-content area, month by month.
After getting the site back up completely, I ran another UP backup set. This time, when the backup was complete, I checked the zip files. Again, the Uploads file is corrupt!
Now, I have another client who also uses GoDaddy for his WP site. I had to restore his site when GoDaddy took it off line for failure to pay for the hosting (he had changed credit cards without changing the GoDaddy settings). I was able to restore his website using the UP backup set I had on my local drive. His Uploads ZIP file is close to 900mb, so size is apparently not the issue here.
Both clients have the same GoDaddy Managed WP hosting plan. My dropbox account has plenty of space and has never run out. Therefore, there seems to be a significant problem with UP.
I can provide backup logs as needed.
