I thought it may be under the network admin area but it’s not. I went to the main site and run it there. * But I am not sure if running it there will backup the entire multi install or just the main blog. * Plugin Author [Sed Lex](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sedlex/) * (@sedlex) * [13 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/backup-multisite-using-backup-scheduler/#post-3571790) * It should be on the network admin area : SL plugins > Backup Scheduler > Configuration > All directories (the full WordPress installation) * Plugin Author [Sed Lex](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sedlex/) * (@sedlex) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/backup-multisite-using-backup-scheduler/#post-3571944) * I believe that, as there is no answer, your issue is solved * Please tell me if it is not the case * Thread Starter [Johanhorak](https://wordpress.org/support/users/johanhorak/) * (@johanhorak) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/backup-multisite-using-backup-scheduler/#post-3571945) * Hi Sed * Thanks for checking in. * It’s not under the Network Admin area. I have network activated it but the SL Plugins link exist only for individual blogs. * I did a backup for one of the blogs and it worked (about 500 MB) but I am not sure how to do it for all blogs at once. * BTW: the file size for all blogs = 4Gig and another wordpress backup plugin bombed out because I think Hostgator killed the script. This is on shared hosting. * Plugin Author [Sed Lex](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sedlex/) * (@sedlex) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/backup-multisite-using-backup-scheduler/#post-3571949) * The main blog contains a link to SL Plugins and your can configure your entire backup here. * My plugin actually work on very huge size website : I designed it for that 🙂 * Thread Starter [Johanhorak](https://wordpress.org/support/users/johanhorak/) * (@johanhorak) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/backup-multisite-using-backup-scheduler/#post-3571951) * Hi Sed * Thanks for the support. * This is good news: * > My plugin actually work on very huge size website : I designed it for that > 🙂 * I got this error: * > BackUpWordPress detected issues with your last backup. > mysqldump: mysqldump: > Got error: 1016: Can’t open file: ‘./johanhor_johanmu/wp_803_term_relationships. > frm’ (errno: 24) when using LOCK TABLES * Just below at **Date of the backup** * > The process is still in progress for this backup (begun March 18, 2013 at 15: > 19:19.). > The SQL extraction is in progress (18110/25703098 entries extracted). > Cancel this process * I cancelled the process 😉 * Your assistance is appreciated. * Johan * Plugin Author [Sed Lex](https://wordpress.org/support/users/sedlex/) * (@sedlex) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/backup-multisite-using-backup-scheduler/#post-3571952) * Hum … I do not understand where you saw the error related to BackUpWordPress … Is it another backup plugin ? * Thread Starter [Johanhorak](https://wordpress.org/support/users/johanhorak/) * (@johanhorak) * [13 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/backup-multisite-using-backup-scheduler/#post-3571953) * Yes.
