Please try to exclude wp-snapshots and then try again.
It’s not a good idea to backup another backup files, right ??
Hope that help you!

Thank you.

Just tried it but still get the same error:

[14-May-2018 16:30:20] ERROR: If /kunden/4…/wordpress/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2017/12/XXXXX.jpg will be added to your backup archive, the archive will be too large for operations with this PHP Version. You might want to consider splitting the backup job in multiple jobs with less files each.
[14-May-2018 16:30:20] ERROR: Cannot create backup archive correctly. Aborting creation.

@grobima
Sorry, please exclude backupwordpress-d... on your wp-content too ??

Again no luck. I have checked the file but it is not that big.

I am no WordPress or Web Expert…by no means. Is my WordPress maybe simply too big? Or might there be a Dropbox Limit for this?

Thanks again.

Here is the last protocol:

Please give me your server information ( BackWPUp-> Settings -> Infomation tab -> press Get Debug Info ).
Also, please try to change to another backup extension like Tar or TarGzip.
I hope that help!

Tried Tar and TarGzip. Still the same mistake.

Here is the debug info. Want to let you know that I really much appreciate your time and knowledge.

As I know, the 32-bit version of PHP have filesize limitation ( <= 2GB ), if your blog is too big, maybe you need to split the large backup to other smaller backup jobs.
But I would suggest you contact your hoster and tell them if possible, upgrade your PHP from 32bit to 64bit version.

I hope that help you, if not, please let me know ??

That was a great hint and is the reason for the error. Unfortunately my hoster isn’t offering the 64bit version yet.

However, maybe you could still help me by suggesting a good way how to split my backup into two parts. My largest folder is within the Upload folder within “WP Content” (3.8 GB out of 4.14 GB).

Under Files and Uploads I don’t see enough folders to exclude. Any ideas!

Once again thank you for helping me out!

Hi @all,

we have a new version on github fixing bugs of 3.5.0. You can download it here https://github.com/inpsyde/backwpup/archive/master.zip.
Would be great if we get some feedback before we release on www.ads-software.com.

Thanks a lot for your help!

@grobima
hmm, sorry my late reply, but actually there is nothing I can suggest with your PHP 32 bit version ??
If possible, please tell your hoster to upgrade to a 64bit version of PHP ??

I’m going to close this topic now, if you still have any question, just let me know ??
