Backup Failed

    Hi, I installed the plugin and completed a backup successfully to local server, which I have downloaded and saved. I then wanted to do another backup, this time to email, in case any files were corrupted in the first one, but I now can’t do a backup to server or email, with the message “The activity failed: A filesystem operation failed.
    A filesystem operation failed while processing ‘Database/OBFW_Database.sql’ for backup.
    If the following error message is not clear as to the problem and the issue persists, please contact support providing the complete event log for the activity. Diagnostic information follows:

    Failed at: 430(/home/physioal/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wponlinebackup/include/tables.php)

    I’m very much a “newbie” with WordPress, very basic knowledge, so was just hoping for some advice. I need to update WordPress and plugins so want to be sure that I have a good backup in place before I do. Thanks in advance

    Hi,

    Can you check your hosting package has enough free space? We see this sometimes when the hosting space is nearly full.

    When we run backup all files that get backed up (everything for local backups and just changed files for online backup) is copied into a backup file. So you can sometimes need enough space to duplicate your blog in two. So if your blog is 50 MB you may need another 50 MB free space – compression will likely drop this lower but compression varies a lot.

    Regards,

    Jason

    Thanks, that appears to have been the problem. I had downloaded and saved the original backup anyway, so I’m guessing I can just delete that from the server now, since I have a copy elsewhere? Appreciate your help, this is all a bit new to me!

    Yes if you don’t want to keep the backup on the server, and you’ve downloaded a copy, you can delete it if you like.
