# Error when creating backup

 * Recently I began having issues when backing up my blogs. I have several blogs.
   All are having same issue. All are on same server. The issue: after iniating 
   the backup, it stalls. The progress never exceeds 13% complete, usually stops
   exactly at 13%. I suppose this could be something on my database. But not really
   sure where to begin on this. I have had no problems for many months creating 
   back ups, this is a recent problem that I noticed in 2.03 and continues in 2.04.
   Any help would greatly appreciated.

 * Try doing a repair and optimize to the db.

 * Hello – thanks for your help. Can you share with me how to do the “optimize the
   database”? I ran the “repair” and it says ‘OK’
 * thanks
