Hm. I have another domain, priceless.false-profit.com that is hanging. That directory has a staging server that’s nested within it — would the contents of the /staging directory be included in the backup? Because without the staging directory, the whole thing should be less than 50MB. With it, it’s about 160MB.

Tnx!

Duh, yes. I am full of stupid. I hadn’t checked those boxes. They’re hanging, now, but that’s probably due to the wp-content directories being too full, as with the first domain. Hope you figure out how to deal with larger installations, and thanks for your help.

Ah, thanks for troubleshooting for me. I’ve gotten rid of some unnecessary files in my wp-content directory and I got a successful backup. I tried it on a couple other sites, however, and those are failing more cryptically. The log simply shows this:

[2013/01/30 03:18:03] Scheduled ASAP backup.
[2013/01/30 03:18:13] Begining Backup.
[2013/01/30 03:18:13] Backup Complete.
[2013/01/30 03:18:13]

How did you know how much space I was using for my previous site, btw? Do you have access to internal Dreamhost logs? And if so, can you troubleshoot the ones I’ve just tried as well?

Ah, got it. Well, I’m using 7+GB of space but my account is unlimited: “Total Disk Space Provided: unlimited”. Is there a separate limit for DreamObjects or something?

From the logs, it looks like the backup was 14MB. Or are you asking something else?

Hi. I’ve updated to the latest version of the plugin (3.1) and backups still do not appear. I enabled logs for the last attempt and here’s how far they got:

[2013/01/29 06:26:58] Scheduled ASAP backup.
[2013/01/29 06:27:12] Begining Backup.
[2013/01/29 06:27:12] List of files added to the zip.
[2013/01/29 06:27:47] SQL file created: /home/enguyen/false-profit.com/wp-content/upgrade/dreamobject-db-backup.sql (14 MB).
[2013/01/29 06:27:47] SQL filename added to zip.
[2013/01/29 06:27:47] Creating zip file …

After this, nothing.

On-demand uploader seems to work fine. File I choose appears in the designated bucket.

There’s potentially something to do with permissions, here. Logged as one Administrator user, I had options to install plugins and was able to import. Logged in as another Administator user, I had exactly the problem fourjandals had, and also couldn’t install plugins.

So, the problem is real and is more complicated than a few posters here seem to think.
