# Disk space requirements?

 * The .wpress export file is 9GB
 * After uploading it to the new server, once the import starts there’s a log file
   at
    /wp-content/plugins/all-in-one-wp-migration/storage/error.log that becomes
   gigantic.
 * So far I have tried the import twice and have had to stop because I ran out of
   disk space.
 * How much disk space do I need to import a 9GB .wpress file, knowing that the 
   total disk usage on the OLD server is about 20GB ?
 * Thanks!

 * Hi Webwerk
 * The server needs 2.5 times the size of your website. So ideally for a 9bg site
   you would want just above 20GB
 * Are you using PHP7.2?

 * Using PHP Version 7.1.17 on the new server.
 * The site files on the old server are approx. 20 GB
    All In One Migration generated
   a 9 GB file to export from the old server. After uploading the single 9 GB .wpress
   file to the new server, and using All in one migration to import it, I found 
   an error.log file of 34 GB and almost none of the old server content on the new
   server.
 * Is All In One Migration not suited for large websites?
 * Thanks
