Complete backup does not contain SQL database file

    One of my sites was displaying gibberish, so after mucking about trying to figure out what was wrong, I went to grab a backup and restore.

    I run two backup routines, one that backs up the database every day and holds 7 days worth of backups, and another that does a complete backup (database and files) once a week that keeps four weeks of backups.

    I discovered that only two of my supposed ‘full’ backups had been successful – three weeks ago and four weeks ago. Neither backup contained the database file as I had anticipated. I do not have a database backup old enough to match completely with the most recent full backup.

    Is it possible to recover from this situation? Why didn’t my ‘full’ backup include the databases file as I anticipated?

    Thank you,

    Jim.

    How large is your backup? I have detected an issue with large backups where the database is not added.
    This is fixed in the next version due for release.

    Thanks

    Paul,

    The backup in question was 416MB. I should add that the original problem was my site being hacked, despite having BruteProtect and BadBehavior running.

    Both my daily and monthly backup routines were affected.

    I’ve been in contact with Owain Cuvelier at Human Made support. He’s tried very hard to be helpful, but I think I’m beyond help at this point.

    Thank you for posting.

    Jim.

    I’m so sorry this happened. We will definitely do all we can to avoid this in the future
