BackWPUp Hangs when backing up files.

    I’m setting up a new site and trying to run the first backup.

    BackWPup completes successfully if database only, but hangs if files are included (also if files only), no matter what compression is selected.

    With debug on the last few lines in the log file are:

    [05-Apr-2017 14:23:10] Added database dump “cl56-a-wordp-r6i.sql” with 2.01 MB to backup file list
    [05-Apr-2017 14:23:10] Database backup done!
    [05-Apr-2017 14:23:10] Restart after 6 seconds.
    [05-Apr-2017 14:25:56] ERROR: Aborted by user!
    [05-Apr-2017 14:25:56] ERROR: Job has ended with errors in 171 seconds. You must resolve the errors for correct execution.

    Two possibilities appear to exist:

    1) In Information, Server self connect says: “Not expected HTTP response:
    WP Http Error: cURL error 56: Failure when receiving data from the peer”

    2) I am using a ‘Coming Soon’ plugin which I cannot switch off at this time.

    Where do I go from here?

  • Same here! Having exactly this same problem.

    Anyone have any thoughts?

    Running WordPress 4.7.3 with a variety of plugins.

    This page of the docs should be able to help.

    Quoting what it says about your error:

    Not expected HTTP response: WP Http Error: Failure when receiving data from the peer

    In this case your host is probably blocking the access to the wp-cron.php file. Please contact your host and check if this is the case and if it is possible to change. Apart from that you can try a workaround for BackWPup: Activate alternative Cron by adding the following line to your wp-config.php:

    define( 'ALTERNATE_WP_CRON', true );

    I was a little dubious about alternate-wp-cron when I read Brandon’s post as wp-cron works, in my case, for database only backups. However, I tried it and it worked. Thanks Brandon – another step forward. I can now see this site being ready for release on time.

    I’ve marked this problem as resolved and will move on to the next one ….
