Maximum backup size?

    Hi,

    What is the maximum possible size of a backup?

    I’ve never managed to backup a site with a total size greater than 128MB. The job never ends and I need to abort it.

    I’ve contacted my host but they say that there is no limit on their side. To confirm this, what do I need to ask my host?

    I’ve tried all archive formats available.
    Job destination is Backup to folder.

    How is you Host?

    Thanks for your reply!

    Don’t know what you mean by “How is you Host?”

    The most recent project where I faced this problem the client had chosen cheap host one.com. They might not be the best host but still they insists they have no limit on their side. They won’t help me.

    How can I find out if there really is a limit on their side?

    What questions do I need to ask them?

    Is it possible that I need to edit anything in the plugin settings?

    There is no errors!

    1. Trying to create backup archive …
    Compressing files as ZipArchive. Please be patient, this may take a moment.

    It just keeps running without ending. I’ve kept it running for 15 minutes. Then I have to abort it.

    Then in the backups folder there will be a backup-file with the size of 128MB. But it cannot be opened since it’s not complete. Every time the backup size will be larger than 128MB it stops at 128 without ending.

    I’ve ran into this problem on several sites with the same host. So I’m guessing there is a limit on their side. I just don’t know what to ask for.

    What might be the limit on their side? What can I ask for?
