David, sorry I think I have left out some important information: "Your web server has PHP's so-called safe_mode active. This makes time-outs much more likely. You are recommended to turn safe_mode off,...

Hi LS, That error indicates that your web hosting company has a broken IPv6 networking setup. You need to take it up with them. I don't know if talk of IPv6 means anything to you, but basically it...

Hi Nikolaj, Yes, that's significant. It causes the timeouts to be lowered, usually too far to make anything work... you need to ask your web hosting company to turn it off... PHP's safe mode was...

Hi David Just got a reply from support, saying, they didn't have plans for upgrading php any time soon and that safe_mode could not be turned off. So basically with these kind of servers, updraftplus...

Hi Nikolaj, We've got some plans to break up the 'restore' operation into multiple requests so that low timeouts don't apply to the whole operation (but just to each sub-request), but that's going to...

Hello, hoping someone can help with an error I'm getting on UpDraft Plus. I have installed the PlugIn on my WordPress site and started a manual backup. The log file seemed to look normal. It backed up...

Hi C_Guy, Please can you update to the development version - http://updraftplus.com/faqs/devversion - and then post a new log (the entire log - use pastebin.com because it'll be big). Many thanks, David

Hi David. Thank you for the prompt response. I have de-activated and removed the standard plugin and installed the Developer version. I tried running the same manual backup again and got the same...

Hi Scott, Firstly, this is the most extraordinarily slow server I've ever seen... after 100 seconds, it's managed to add 0.5Mb of data to a zip file... so that's 5Kb/second (normal performance would be...

Thanks David. As per your advice I modified my wp-config.php and uploaded it. I re-ran the backup and it went much faster although it looks like there may have been a hiccup. I have pasted a new log...

Hi Michel, It looks like no backup of your 'uploads' folder is made. The first time we see an error (that then gets repeated a lot) is this: 0017.401 (0) Beginning creation of dump of uploads 0576.982...

Hi David Thanks for the quick response. Upload folder is pretty big indeed : 3.2 GB Not sure how to split it into parts Michel

Hi Michel, I can see the problem. Your site's webserver is 32-bits (indicated by the i586 at the top of the log), which means that the maximum file that can be created is 2Gb. The uploads folder rarely...
