    Hi and thanks for the excellent plugin!

    The latest update oauth changes have got it working on my website again, which is awesome. But I’ve noticed two odd things happening in this version:

    1) some large files don’t ,make it into the correct subdirectories on the dropbox side. Instead, they have the subdir name appended ton the front of the filename. E.g., subdirBigfile.mp3

    2) the plugin seems to be backing up and overwriting every file every backup, rather than just copying over changed files, so it’s taking 3 to 4 hours to backup the site every night (about 1.5 GB worth of files).

    Any thoughts?

    Thanks!

    Thanks – confirmed that the uploaded SQL dumps are now going into the backups directory. 🙂

    Also confirmed that the plugin is copying an unfinished version of the plugins SQL dump, which is only 1/3 to 1/2 complete at the time it gets sent to Dropbox. 🙁

    Is there any constant/setting I should try to get the plugin to wait for a completed plugins sql dump? I’m running Slimstat and that seems to be the major issue, in that the stats table for that plugin is probably around 90mb. Would increasing the WAIT_TIMEOUT in class-wp-backup-database.php possibly help?

    Thanks!

    I know this is marked as resolved, but it’s actually not since the plugins SQL portion of this never finishes :).

    In fact, I’ve seen another 400 error today on the plugins SQL file upload to dropbox, as the file was still being created at the time of upload. From what I can discern, the plugins SQL is actually still (9 hours later!) creating a temporary file of the SQL dump on my server… moving veeeeery slowly….!

    It might make sense to add some kind of exclude tables feature, as I think that might help determine if there’s a single plugin or table causing the issue, and generally that would make your plugin even more useful if folks wanted to exclude the plugin table data, etc.
