I ~thought~ our site wasn’t really all that big. When I had other space issues and our provider increased out disk space, I finally got the zip file created– all 458MB of it. * Thread Starter [Dennis16](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dennis16/) * (@dennis16) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-link/#post-4052832) * hey, mmh its probably big, i dont know. 350 articles, each articles has 5-10 pictures. how can i solve that? do I have to talk to the person who hosts my page? * [harrisr7](https://wordpress.org/support/users/harrisr7/) * (@harrisr7) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-link/#post-4052833) * From the stats you gave I would say you’re using at least 300MB but could be twice that much. It’s all based mainly on the pictures. My database is the smallest thing there compared to the media we’ve uploaded. WordPress likes to create various‘ sizes’ of picture you upload. I looked at two in particular on my site. The first is a 170KB file and WP generated another 172KB in various thumbnails. Another was a much smaller 27KB file and WP generated additional 229KB in thumbnails. * Talk to your provider and see how much of your disk space is used up. If it is over 50% then I would say you need to look at getting more space. Tell them what you are trying to do and see if you can get the space temporarily just to see how big that file actually gets. One other issue we had is that we were using less than 50% of our space, but we hit the limits of our “quota”. Just because they allocate ‘X’ space to your website does not mean that space is actually available for use by the ‘user’ the web site is running as. * Thread Starter [Dennis16](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dennis16/) * (@dennis16) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-link/#post-4052834) * I asked my provider its 75 GB! 😉 solved the problem, he does backups every day and can provide the files. so its fine. * Thread Starter [Dennis16](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dennis16/) * (@dennis16) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-link/#post-4052835) * Thanks a lot for the help. * btw wasnt the size, i had not a limitation. * wondering what it is, because i couldnt use any of the 3 most common backup plugins * [John Peden](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jcpeden/) * (@jcpeden) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-link/#post-4052836) * Guys, * I’ll build in a little function that will estimate the size and time required to generate your backup. * Dennis, what on Earth are you doing to make your site that big?!? * Thread Starter [Dennis16](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dennis16/) * (@dennis16) * [13 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-link/#post-4052837) * [http://www.lookinforjonny.com](http://www.lookinforjonny.com) * [rajeev_rnd](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rajeevmatrix/) * (@rajeevmatrix) * [12 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-link/#post-4052864) * Dear Plugin Author, * I have installed the plugin on my site and then hit the backup button * I am getting following:- * Status * Preparing to backup…Done Backing-up database…Done Backing-up /wp-content/…Done Creating backup information file…Done Zipping backup directory…Done Cleaning up…Done Backup file created successfully.
