    I recently updated your plug-in to version 3.2.2. Now, when I try to create a backup that excludes all files, and is just the database structure and tables, my .wpress file is over 4GB! Since I cannot open the .wpress file I cannot see what is happening, but perhaps it is not excluding all of the theme, plugin and media files? Is this a bug or am I doing something wrong? Is there a place where I can download a past version of this plug-in that worked better for me?

    Hi,

    I am sorry for the inconvenience.
    You can roll back to the old version by installing the plugin from https://www.dropbox.com/s/6r8n8b4wvfte32r/all-in-one-wp-migration.2.0.5.zip?dl=0.

    Exporting huge files that have no correlation to the size of the website / database. I can’t even roll back as the export feature doesn’t show up in dashboard when I do.

    This just to be such a good plugin – what happened! Was going to purchase for bigger sites but V4 would need to be vastly improved before I do so.

    This is happening to me as well. A 1GB export from a site with a much smaller footprint. Where is all of this extra file size coming from?

    *Actually, I think the reason for me is that the plugin is creating and moving backups. So this isn’t a failure of the plugin – I just need to delete backups, right?

    I was able to delete the backups on my production server, but to get a smaller file out of localhost, I had to manually find and empty wp-content/ai1wm-backups of the backup files – they weren’t showing in the WP GUI.
