SQL dump not included in the ZIP, no error reported

    Hello,

    I justs discovered with some panic that in most of my Zip backups, the DB SQL file is not included.

    There are no errors nor warnings whatsoever in the Task log.

    The only thing that is peculiar to the Zip method is that it takes an extremely long time to complete (just shy of 6000s, i.e more than 1.5 hours), but it does complete.

    Is there anything I can/should do to make sure my DB is actually backed up?

    All software versions are the up-to-date latest.

    Thanks for any help or advice !

    @duongcuong96 yes, the db backup is enabled. It has been enabled from the creation of the task, and the db used to be included, but now it’s suddenly not in the zip file anymore.

    I had to switch to Zip because tar doesn’t archive paths longer than 100 characters, unfortunately.

    hi @palijn

    recently did you install any new plugins?

    if yes maybe try to disable them/ re-install the BWU plugin and run the job again.

    You can also create a seperated job for just backup database file too just in case!

    Ha!

    I found my <dbname>.sql.gz file back !

    It used to be at the root of the backwpup archive. Now, Backwpup decided to include it in a separate directory of the form <full/path/to/home>/<siteroot>/<dbname>.sql.gz .

    I missed the newly-created folder (named “home2” on the server) amidst the other elements in the archive’s root. So, there it is. Problem solved.
