    Hi Bibo,

    What is the very big file? The log file should tell you. If you can’t find the line, then post the log file at pastebin.com, and copy the pastebin link here.

    Best wishes,
    David

    Hi,

    Do this:

    1) De-install BackWPUp

    2) Delete the BackWPUp directory: wp-content/uploads/backwpup-c9b44-backups/

    The problem you are having is that your BackWPUp backup is a single file that is 1.9Gb. That’s enormous, and causes problems when trying to add that file to the UpdraftPlus backup. Backups of backups are not a great idea!

    Hi David! Everything seems to be OK after following your message
    1 – Is it normal to have 5 files in my backup (plugins,database,themes,other and upload ) and that all theses backup are less than before (about 200Mo instead of 1.9 Go … with backWPup )
    2 – And, last question,how should I restore my website in case of trouble :the 5 backups one by one ?
    Sorry for theses (stupid ) questions and thousands of thank’s for your help

    1. Yes. This allows different components to be restored separately, should you ever have a need to do so (e.g. a bad plugin update).

    2. Restore them all at once. Otherwise is more risky. (e.g. The active plugins and the database depend on each other).
