Please exclude ai1wm-backups folder since it was created by All-in-One WP Migration plugin, you don’t need to back up another backup folder 🙂

Can I backup a backup of a backup?! 😀
Ok will do this and see if the backup works now!! Thanks.
@chefc
That also possible too, but there is one limit about the file size, you can’t back up a single file which larger than your server PHP memory limit, for example, if your PHP server memory is 512MB and the single backup file is about 600MB, the file size issue will happens, it’s PHP limitation as I know 🙂

Hi, I unchecked the backup backup and ran another attempt;

Is this due to the backup size still? Are there any changes I can request our server host make?
It worked originally with a backup over 7GB so I’m not sure why it won’t now 🙁
Hi @chefc
Please go to BackWPup > Settings > Jobs, try to set Maximum Script Execution Time setting to about 25 seconds then try again 🙂
If that not work, please give me a screenshot of your job files tab 🙂

It’s set to 30 at the moment. Should I reduce it to 25 or is a higher time what we’re trying to achieve here? (I assume yes)

Hi,
I managed to accomplish a full download = 5.43GB by unchecking a whole bunch of folders that aren’t required such as;
wp-clone
pb_backupbuddy
backwpup-xxxxxx-temp
backwpup-xxxxxx-logs
phpFlickrCache (don’t even use this plugin anymore)
backupbuddy_backups
backwpip-xxxxx-backups
I’m assuming none of these are actually required!
@chefc
if you are not use these plugins anymore, I would recommend to remove these folders 🙂
( Excerpt backwpup-xxxxxx-temp and backwpup-xxxxxx-logs )
So can the issue be considered as resolved now?
@chefc
Glad to hear that the issue now resolved 🙂
