    Hi,

    I’ve seen the other posts, but want to further along development as I’d love to rely on this plugin and right now I can’t.

    I get a failed error on a blog with 94MB in the wp-content folder. The blog has been rebuilt only yesterday, it was transferred from another host, all FTP files and the sql database were from a fresh restore.

    The onsite – not transferred files (located on my web server) – weigh in at 100.5MB for the wpTimeMachine-content-files.zip file.

    I host roughly 15 WP websites. I am going to test wp Time Machine with all of them to see if I can find any obvious tell-tale signs of why backup isn’t working on S3. The specific and most common error i see is “Your backup has NOT completed”

    So far…on the 6 blogs I’ve tested. It has failed on any blogs that are…

      older than 4 months
      contain over 20MB of data in the wp-content folder

    Which has been 3 of these blogs.

    UPDATE:

    I deleted an entire uploads folder from a blog that wasn’t backing up. Then I re-tried the wp-Timemachine backup, without changing anything else, and it worked.

    So far, this appears to be like a limitation for size, and it’s set very small. Under 20MB?

    I’ve manually uploaded large files to the S3 account to test, and unless their is a setting on S3 I’m not aware of, this appears to continue to be an issue with wp-TimeMachine

    UPDATE:

    You cannot but a / in the “Bucket” area for S3 … it will not work.

    UPDATE:

    when naming a bucket for S3, capitalization is ignored.

    UPDATE:

    All established blogs, ones that are older, have more plugins, comments, uploads, and have larger wp-content folders do not complete backing up.

    All the smaller blogs, newly set-up, un-used, generally un-established complete the backup without issue.

    This is true when clicking the backup button from within the plugin.

    I have not seen the plugin initiate a backup on it’s own after hitting publish or updating a post or page at any of the blogs that have worked. I have tested this on at least 5 separate occasions.

    I will attempt to set up a cron-job for the blogs that do work, and upgrade to WP 3.1 for the blogs that don’t work to see if there is any different.

    UPDATE:

    Upgrading to WP 3.1 did nothing.
