Backup contains: Files and database (Full backup)Latest status: The backup attempt has finished, apparently unsuccessfully * I tried to use Pastebin to post the log.txt, but it’s not working for me. Maybe because it’s such a large file?? Any suggestions? * Thank you for your help! * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Ffailed-back-up-attempts%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to see the link]_ Viewing 10 replies - 1 through 10 (of 10 total) * Plugin Contributor [bcrodua](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bcrodua/) * (@bcrodua) * [3 days, 8 hours ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/failed-back-up-attempts/#post-19008373) * Hi, * Apologies for the delay. * Kindly upload the backup log in Google Drive, Dropbox or any other cloud storage you prefer and share the link here. * Best Wishes, Bryle * Thread Starter [kjhatzi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kjhatzi/) * (@kjhatzi) * [3 days, 1 hour ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/failed-back-up-attempts/#post-19008853) * Here you go!

This happens when your server’s PHP settings time out and the upload connection is severed. * Can you try adding the following to your wp-config to increase the memory limit. * define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ‘512M’); * Thread Starter [kjhatzi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kjhatzi/) * (@kjhatzi) * [1 day, 3 hours ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/failed-back-up-attempts/#post-19010859) * Hi again, * I changed to code on wp-config and tried to back-up again. Kept going for quite a white but now it shows as NOT FINISHED and nothing is happening. * Here’s the latest log: * [https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nBzXdBIlWg09ePD6VqpANzMKrfhXS6u4/view?usp=sharing](https://drive.google.com/file/d/1nBzXdBIlWg09ePD6VqpANzMKrfhXS6u4/view?usp=sharing) * I know it’s trying to prune sets, but I had to delete a lot of files from the Drive to make room for repeated attempts to back-up. So I know I’m getting some error messages about that. Can you take another look for me please? * Thank you so much! * Plugin Support [vupdraft](https://wordpress.org/support/users/vupdraft/) * (@vupdraft) * [1 day ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/failed-back-up-attempts/#post-19011002) * Hi, * You are still getting the same error. However, this log does look a lot better( the process halts during the pruning of the backup which right at the end). * Can you post your php error logs ?(these are normally in the root of your site). * Thread Starter [kjhatzi](https://wordpress.org/support/users/kjhatzi/) * (@kjhatzi) * [17 hours, 8 minutes ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/failed-back-up-attempts/#post-19011201) * Sorry, but I could not find any php error logs.

Today I have had to change WP_DEBUG_DISPLAY back to false as WPForms appeared to be creating PHP Notifications displayed across the top of my website due to some pending tasks. * Exactly what Hostinger did to clear my issue with updraftPlus not running is unclear …they said they had only switched on debugging. So I said to them it appears to have fixed itself then? and Hostinger said ‘yes’!!! …so I’m not sure I can help send you any errors as it now appears to be working …correct me if I’m wrong (newbie) Viewing 10 replies - 1 through 10 (of 10 total) You must be [logged in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Ffailed-back-up-attempts%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US) to reply to this topic. * ![](https://ps.w.org/updraftplus/assets/icon-256x256.jpg?rev=1686200) * [UpdraftPlus: WP Backup & Migration Plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/updraftplus/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/updraftplus/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/updraftplus/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/updraftplus/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/updraftplus/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/updraftplus/reviews/) * 11 replies * 4 participants * Last reply from: [bufferzone](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bufferzone/) * Last activity: [15 minutes ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/failed-back-up-attempts/#post-19011980) * Status: not resolved
