Keeps cycling – never completes

that usually happens when the plugin runs out of memory during the backup process,and it runs out of memory when the combined size of the files to be backed up is around 1GB (or more),this isn’t an exact number since it depends on the server but let’s just say,for the sake of “argument”,that it is 1GB.

if you have a lot of backups saved in the ‘wp-content’ directory,temporarily move them out of that directory,and then try to create a backup. if that doesn’t work,click on the ‘advanced settings’ link at the bottom of the plugin’s dashboard page and check the ‘alternate zip method’ checkbox,and then try to create a backup. you could also play around with the ‘maximum memory limit’ field.

by the way,if the plugin failed during a backup,there’s a good chance that there are leftover files in the “/uploads/wp-clone/” directory,delete everything except the ‘index.html’ file.
