In reply to: [BackUpWordPress] [Plugin: BackUpWordPress] Can't unarchive the zip fileHi, Tom,
I’m on GoDaddy. I agree that 6GB seems too big. I only have 200+ posts on there; nothing fancy. I don’t know how to find out how big it actually is. I deactivated and reactivated the plugin and it still says 6GB.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [BackUpWordPress] [Plugin: BackUpWordPress] Can't unarchive the zip fileAh, okay, here’s what it says:
✓ Your database & files will be automatically backed up every day at 23:00 to /home/content/C/l/T/ClTomp/html/ccblog/wp-content/backups.✓ Your site is 6 GB. Backups will be compressed and should be smaller than this.
✓ Your database will be backed up using /usr/bin/mysqldump.
I see the backups in the wp-content/backups folder (in my hosting control center). I can download them but not unarchive them. Do I need to? I don’t need to restore my site; I’m just unclear about how to tell the backups are working right.
I don’t know where /usr/bin/mysqldump is.
Really appreciate your help!

In reply to: [BackUpWordPress] [Plugin: BackUpWordPress] Can't unarchive the zip fileDo you mean in my WordPress admin? I’m not sure what you mean, sorry. Also, I don’t know what shell_exec being disabled means. Sigh.

In reply to: [BackUpWordPress] [Plugin: BackUpWordPress] Can't unarchive the zip fileNow I can download the file via FTP but I can’t unzip it. I get an “unable to unarchive” message using the Archive Utility program on my Mac. Is there another way to unzip it? Thanks!

Thanks, that worked! My site is only about 130MB so I didn’t think it would be too large to download on my computer. Now I know. Thanks again for your quick response.Claire
