Ah… Think I may have found what is going on. I changed it so the temp folder is a folder I had already excluded and it went fine. Seems if it tries to back up the temp files, it hangs.

Hope this helps someone!

My problem is definitely file size related. Likely hitting the memory limit.

Split my job into a file job and a database job, and the database job completes and uploads. Going to try to trim the fat from the file job, or create multiples to work around it. Maybe one for content, one for root, etc.

Downloaded 1.6.1. No longer completes backup. It hangs after getting the space information from DropBox. Last entries in the log are:

2011-03-18 20:53.05: Backup Archive file create done!
2011-03-18 20:53.08: Authed to DropBox from Joseph Ferris
2011-03-18 20:53.08: Free Space on DropBox: 2 GB

For now, I’ll still just back up to disk. That is still working, provided I don’t try to back up too much (i.e. including the folder with previous backups).

I ended up having to exclude the folder that the backups were being saved to on the server. I would see where it would backup one, the second time took longer, third even a bit longer, then the fourth would never finish. Really depends on your host configuration.

Beyond that, I set it up only to retain the last one, however, I’ll be manually pulling them off until the DropBox connectivity is working again.
