 * Hi, I am trying to restore / migrate a site from the backup. I have backups taken
   on different days. But none of the restore is successful. I get an error – “Restore
   failed”. The following is an extract from the status window.

 * I have increased all the memory limits, etc. as suggested in the previous thread.
   But, still no luck.
    I have successfully restored sites earlier & this is the
   first time I am having trouble with!
 * Hope htere’ll be a working solution!
 * Thanks in advance.

 * Hello [@siapliw](https://wordpress.org/support/users/siapliw/)
 * It can be because of insufficient disk space of the target site. Please try to
   free up the disk space. In general, in order to successfully backup a site, the
   amount of free disk space on the web server needs to be twice the size of the
   website.
 * After that, upload the backup again and see if the problem is gone.
 * All the best,

 * Thanks or the reply.
    Issue does not seem to be of space. I tried the same on
   a local install as well as on different test server. Problem & errors are the
   same.

 * Hi [@siapliw](https://wordpress.org/support/users/siapliw/)
 * Thank you for your update.
 * Then please unzip the backup in your computer and see if it is broken.
 * If it can be successfully unzipped, please upload the zip via FTP client to the
   target site (by default to /wp-content/wpvividbackups folder) then click the “
   Scan uploaded backups and received backups” button on the plugin to display them
   in the backup list and restore.
 * If it can not be unzipped, then please create a new backup to upload. Before 
   that, please make sure the disk space of the source site is sufficient.
 * All the best,
