Since the latest update there’s a notice in the admin: “Take a free 14-day trial of BackupforWP Cloud Backup.Get Started in 2 Minutes.” This is dismissible, but after dismissing it keeps coming back on every page.
]]>In an earlier thread, I told you about my corrupted database, reaching over 1.5 Gb. Here are the culprit items on the left hand side, which I want to delete. Can you tell me how to go about it?

I am on shared hosting, don’t know Linux. Earlier by executing queries I deleted over 100,000 entries for the same GPLCELLAR term. I tried deleting them to export thinking the resultant database might become much smaller. Any help is appreciated.
]]>This plugin worked for me until recently. Now it’s showing one giant unformatted page with a printer’s pie of settings and nonworking links. It’s like none of the CSS for the plugin is loading or something. I’ve completely deleting the plugin and reinstalled from scratch several times, including it to tell it to clean up all tables on deletion, no difference.
Here’s some screenshots of what I’m seeing: https://imgur.com/a/hW0971h
My database size is 1.5 gb (unfortunately I installed a theme/plugin database and though deactivated & deleted, contains millions of rows. I deleted around 800,000 reducing db size from 2.5 to 1.5 gb). Now every script fails/timesout/critical error. Exported database is around 148Mb, but unusable. Tried your plugin, but critical error first, then timed out. Can you help?
]]>Hi,
Where is backup located? In DB or WP Admin?
I tried to make backup, but the process was endless so I removed plugin … now I see that my DB has increased so I’m wondering if it’s because somewhere backup was stored
Hi guys,
The Save Backup To: Email Notification is not working on Version 6.7
We try to set the Attach backup file to Yes but the changes are not saved and the backup file is not attached to the email message.
Any thoughts?

]]>I’ve linked and unlinked and re-linked the personal drop box that I have, which has nearly 2gb of space in it, but the destination continues to show as “unconfigured” but “authenticated” in the Backups page of the app on my site. When I run a backup it freezes at 35% (for days at times) when it hits wp-wprss-logs (which is rather large, I’ll admit). But for days? I’ve backed it up with the basic export tool for WP before and it’s not had this problem before. I’d love insights as to if i’ve missed a step of configuring the destination or have missed some other step. Thanks!
]]>Hello
Does the plugin backup the entire site or just the database? If it backs-up the entire site then is it in one easy to use file or in multiple files like one for directories, one for database etc?
Thanks
]]>Hi there, a recent upgrade of the plugin crashed our site because we are dealing with a legacy environment where we have no control of the version of PHP.
Here’s the error:
[Thu Aug 03 10:33:05.375960 2023] [:error] [pid 548] PHP Parse error:? syntax error, unexpected ‘)’ in /var/www/html/sitedir/wp-content/plugins/wp-database-backup/includes/admin/class-wpdb-admin.php on line 349
Is there a way we could download an older version of the plugin?
Thanks!
]]>Full backup stop at 81% and stay there few days. Hosting indicate processor and memory usage. I can’t find how to stop it. Probably I need something like “stop” button.
]]>Good plugin, thanks.
Sorting by date is incorrect on Database Backups listing. If the date is written numerically as YY-mm-dd, will the problem be solved? (Example: 2023-12-29)
Hi! There are doubled and even tripled time settings, for example 3 buttons for everyday backup: Once Daily, Once a Day, Once Daily. The same goes for every week backup: Once Weekly, Once Weekly, Once Every 7 Days.
Is there any sheer difference between multiple settings?
Also selected Once a Day option on another website – it doesn’t work at all. At the same time it works on the main website.
This plugin looks like exactly what I need, but does not work.

Enabling the log seems to write the log to an encoded URL, instead of writing to a log file(?):

Setting a local directory seems to work, but checking the “Enable .htaccess File In Storage Directory” box does absolutely nothing. No .htaccess file is created.
Deleting the created zip deletes it from the plugin UI, but does NOT delete the file from the server.

Does this plugin only support Amazon AWS S3 and not generic S3 API connections to other companies?
]]>Hi, is SFTP “Save Backup to” method working?
While I have set the correct informations for the fields (tested many times in a terminal to make sure they’re OK) that is FTP host by its name, FTP port 22, FTP user and password (copied and pasted) and a Subdirectory (or none), I keep getting this message:

]]>Your plugin does not update number_of_backups_from_user properly. We had 2 existing backups & I manually created a backup on the 25th prior to the following automated scheduling error kicking off. Once the automated scheduler fired off, it was probably trying to read a NULL value.
This plugin resulted causing the issue with the white page with the text site has a critical error as has been previously reported. I hope this is resolved quickly or I will need to investigate alternative plugins, I can’t risk my sites being taken down in this way.

I noticed that latest release of WP Database Backup do not create a backup just before an update is launched.
Even when setting related to it is enable.
Did someone notice this ?
Thanks.

Hi
Since I updated from wordpress 6,0,1 to 6.0.3 the DB backup is done but it is not sent to the destination storage anymore (I don’t receive it by email nor on google drive)…
https://snipboard.io/Mi0g6L.jpg
On this screenshot, you can see that it is not send anywhere since the 20th of october (when I did the updates).
Thanks for your help

Hello
really kudos for this amazing plugin. I’m using it on many websites and it works very well.
Would it be possible to add a filter for the file title that is saved to Dropbox and the other destinations?
For example, replacing in the file /admin/Destination/Dropbox/Dropbox_upload.php at line 17 (https://plugins.trac.www.ads-software.com/browser/wp-database-backup/trunk/includes/admin/Destination/Dropbox/Dropbox_upload.php)
this line:
$response = $dropbox->upload($args[1], $wpdb_dropbbox_dir . $args[0]);
width something that looks like this one:
$response = apply_filters( 'wp_db_backup_dropbox_file_name',$dropbox->upload($args[1], $wpdb_dropbbox_dir . $args[0]) );
Many thanks in advance
]]>Blank page with your PLUGIN NOT UPDATED WELL ..from You ..
I had to find out how to delete your Plugin after years of using it successfully.
Your plugin sends web domains with the latest CORE WP version in FATAL ERROR WHITE PAGE: the matter is very serious !!!
I found that YOUR PLUGIN does this by creating a PLUGIN.OLD directory and then moving my plugins.
After, one by one I put them back and reactivated and refreshed on the browser, until I discover the offending Plugin = THIS YOUR PLUGIN.
Why does this happen? Are you on vacation? Have you deferred to update your plugin? Is there any special reason?
At the moment I dleted this WP-DATABASE-BACKUP
]]>Hello. I installed the WP Database Backup plug-in to a new WordPress website I’d set-up and then logged out. When I returned to log-in a got a ‘There has been a critical error on this website.’ which prevented me opening up the site again.
These are the versions:
WP Database Backup – 5.8.1
WordPress – 5.8
I used the link on the automated WordPress email after a fatal error is picked up to get in to the back-end of the website and to deactivate the WP Database Back-up plug-in and the site then operated normally.
I activated the plug-in again – and again it crashed the site.
Any ideas on how I can fix this as it’s a great plug-in. Many thanks. Phil
]]>Hello
Scheduled backup not working
3 sites on the server – works on 1 – not on 2 sites
Tried deleting cron and re-creating it – still doesn’t work. Can you tell me how to set up manual cron launch – for example, in WP Crontrol or another way? otherwise the plugin is very good – thanks!
Would any of your team members happen to have a good video guide that walks us through on using wp database backup on a fresh install of WordPress, step by step, so that the new site matches the old?
]]>Hello,
I deactivated the plugin and then the site crashed.
I only have access from ftp and not phpmyadmin access.
Do you know how to resolve this issue?
