Problems with Scheduler

    I’ve been trying to get this plugin to work but can’t seem to get the manual or scheduled backups working.

    My blog is hosted on IIS (Windows) with PHP 5.4.

    I have disabled all other plugins except for UpdraftPlus (I have no caching plugins). When I run the Debug DB backup, it succeeds. When I run the Full Debug backup, it times out (as expected), but does manage to get somewhat through the process.

    However, manual or scheduled backups just don’t do anything. I’ve asked the hosting provider, and they say they do not disable any wp-cron functionality at all, and that they have many wordpress sites that use wp-cron.php successfully.

    I’ve tried hitting wp-cron.php directly, nothing. I’ve turned on WP_DEBUG and don’t see any errors.

    What else can I try here?

  • Hi David

    I have a red face this morning! It belatedly occurred to me last night that the energy saving features on my iMac might have interfered with the resumption of the backup after the addition of WP_ALTERNATIVE_CRON to wp-config.php. So I turned them all off and what do you know, I have a backup! It appears to have been successful (all 1.2gb’s worth), I have included the end of the log file below.

    I really appreciate your support on this issue and will add a glowing review and make a donation. For the time being I will stay with my current host but I checked out Migrator and Simba and both look like a good deal.

    Best

    Great, glad you got it fixed!

    I should add a note to the “nothing happening page” to note that all scheduled tasks rely on there being visits to the site; on in-development sites this doesn’t always happen.
