WP_MEMORY_LIMIT & BackWPUp

    Hi,
    A couple of my BackWPUp jobs fail due to mem exhaustion.
    I currently have the following settings for my sites:
    WP_MEMORY_LIMIT = 40M
    WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT = 128M

    If I manually start a job from the WP Admin UI, it succeeds. However, it fails when executed on a schedule.

    One of the sites fails at the start during the DB backup, and fails 3 times, and thus the backup zip file is useless.
    The other site fails at the S3 upload part (with a 1.4GB zip file upload). It retries and usually succeeds the second time.

    Can I conclude from this that BackWPUp is being restricted by the lower 40MB WP_MEMORY_LIMIT, and that I should consider upping it?

    Can you clarify BackWPUp’s requirements in this area please, particularly in respect to WP_MEMORY_LIMIT vs WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT?

    Cheers,

    Conor

    Hi @conorsboyd
    you set wp memory way too low, try to increase WP_MAX_MEMORY_LIMIT to 512M and

    WP_MEMORY_LIMIT to about 128mb then try again.
    Thanks!

    Thanks for your reply.

    Those recommendations worked for one of my two sites, but not the other, but I’ll do some more testing anyway. I accept those initial settings were low.

    Cheers,

    Conor

    @duongcuong96 I reduced the size of the backup on the second site and the problem went away. Before I reduced it, the resultant backup zip file was approx 1.4GB, now it’s about 0.5GB. I was previously backing up some folders outside the WP installation, and now I’m not.

    Thanks for checking in again.
