There are no zip files in that folder. It has 2 files: .htaccess & tsw555_ab691-backup.sql

So far the biggest file I’ve seen is 18.6MB. I don’t think there is anything crazy large and 18.6 may be the biggest file. I just downlaoded the entire site and the whole thing is under 64MB total.

Deleted the plugin and did a clean re-install and asked it to “backup now”. Nothing showing up in dropbox yet and got the same error showing up again:

Here’s the backup log for one of the sites. I have 15+ set to backup but only 4 have actually shown up in my dropbox folder. This site didn’t actually having any files transferred to dropbox. I get the exact same message even on sites that have backed up (although I don’t really know if they have fully backed up or not because I’m getting the error).

yes, another backup starts automatically but then gives the same error. This happens repeatedly. Any idea what external factor would cause it to stop externally so I can fix it?
