@pfrancois, on the way!

@pfrancois, when I press settings on the plugin page, I see the following page.

What’s the WP version you are using? If not the newest version, try to update.

@pfrancois have you checked the plugin settings:
What to Backup: Backup my - database & files

Do you allow write access to the folder: /wp-content/backups?

I checked my backup as well. All is there. They are the same size as with the old version. My database size: 12 MB uncompressed, 4,5 MB compressed.

@pfrancois
my sql dump is in the “root” of the archive. Have you checked older backup archives, to see if the sql file is/was there?

@tom,

thanks for the update and your time solving this issues. Even the message:

BackUpWordPress detected issues with your last backup. Dismiss
zip: The backup file was not created

has now disappeared.

thanks myblog

@tom Thanks

@tom,

all seems to work fine now, expect one thing. This message appears in the backend, despite the backup files are being created.

BackUpWordPress detected issues with your last backup.Dismiss
zip: The backup file was not created

Any ideas?

@sidewalkstv has it ever worked on your system? It looks like there is a permission problem! Try setting the directory permission of:
/wp-content/backups
to 777, to see if that solves the problem.

Thanks Tom,

for this quick reaction. Now it’s working fine. Even removing define( 'PCLZIP_TEMPORARY_DIR', ABSPATH . 'wp-content/backups/' ); is ok now.

Great and a good New Year to you.

Hi Tom,
after I inserted the code line into the wp-config.php file. The pclzip message has disappeared.

The following error message is still being displayed:

zip: sh: /usr/bin/zip: No such file or directory
zip: The backup file was not created

When I look into the backup folder during a started backup process, I can see the following temp files:

.backup_running
database_name.sql
name.backup.2012-01-01-23-03-05.zip (actual date and time during process time)
name.backup.2012-01-01-23-03-05.zip.mq23x1

after the backup is done, the following files are left in the directory:

.backup_errors
.htaccess
name.backup.2011-12-31-23-06-35.zip (the old and exiting backups)
