File backups failing

    6 years, 10 months ago

    Backups have been running along fine until a month or so ago, when I started to get errors on the file backup. The database backup continues to run just fine. I tried tweaking the settings (max script execution to 25, switching from zip to gzip or tar, adjusting memory limit to 256m in config), but I still can’t get them running again. Any help would be appreciated. Here’s the error log:

    Hi @betyonfire
    I think you have a permission problem, please try the following:

    Hope that helps ??

    The permissions on the directory for file backups are the same as on the directory for database backups and they are running fine. Still, I adjusted it to 777 and tried to run a backup, but it’s still not working.

    @betyonfire
    I see in your server information that Maximum execution time: 0 seconds , that too low, could you please contact your hosting provider and said to them that PHP max_execution_time has been set to 0 seconds ?
    And please give me a screenshot of your BackWPUp settings too.

    Sorry for not responding earlier — I was sort of hoping the issue would go away on its own. No such luck.

    I adjusted the max_execution_time by adding this to my .htaccess file:
    php_value max_execution_time 300

    And that is now appearing in the settings, but the backups are still failing. Here are the settings:

    @betyonfire
    Sorry for my late reply, could you please give screenshots of your job setting?
    Also, could you shows me the folder permission of backwpup-f6a21a-temp folder?
    Thanks!

    I managed to figure this out by increasing resources on tbe account and switching to tar gzip backups.
