# Backups Stopped Working

 * Database and Complete backups stopped working last month and shows just 1mb backups.
   When I excluded wp-content/uploads I was able to do a complete backup. I am running
   WordPress on IIS, is this happening because of file size? How do I troubleshoot
   this or increase file size restrictions if so?

 * Hi
    I was wondering if you had any solution? I seem to be having the same problem.
   Thanks, Gosia

 * No resolution. My last 13 database backups are only 1mb. The Complete Weekly 
   backup started working once I excluded wp-content/uploads, but they are included
   now again and the completely weekly backup is still working. No explanation.
