 * I see this issue is now marked resolved. 
   Actually this issue was NEVER resolved.
   For some reason even the current version of JetBackup only makes null length 
   backup archives of the site in question. I just gave up on this product. This
   WP install is pretty “vanilla.” The only difference is that my other sites are
   hosted in GCP while this one is on a Hostupon server with a CPanel interface.
   WP is at version 6.1.1. All plugins are at current version. Even if I deactivate
   all plugins except for JetBackup, the backups still fail.

 * Thanks for your response. This is the free version of BG. It is running on a 
   WP 6.1.1 and PHP 8.1.13 with Backup (BackupGuard) 1.7.0.

 * I got it working but I still don’t understand why.
 * My directory is structured so that all virtual roots are stored in:
    /var/www/
   <virtual domain folder>/public_html/
 * Each virtualhost block in the sites-available directory had this directory set
   to “AllowOveride All”
 * I tested whether apache was reading the .htaccess file but putting some plain
   text in the file and then seeing if it would generate a 500 server misconfiguration
   error. It didn’t so for some reason .htaccess isn’t being read by apache (but
   only for this virtual host).
 * I appears that I had to change the base apache2.conf file (/etc/apache2/apache2.
   conf) to allow overrides to the /var/www directory:
 *     ```
       /<Directory />
               Options FollowSymLinks
               AllowOverride None
               Require all denied
       </Directory>
   
       <Directory /usr/share>
               AllowOverride None
               Require all granted
       </Directory>
   
       <Directory /var/www/>
               Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
               AllowOverride All
               Require all granted
       </Directory>
       ```
   
 * Once I did that, the virtual host gave me a 500 error and removing the error 
   line in .htaccess allowed the site to load.
    === It has always been my understanding
   with Apache that virtualhosts, directories, and other blocks inherited settings
   from their parent unless they were given a different directive. I don’t understand
   why a VirtualHost–>Directory directive for a folder in /var/www/ would be ignored
   in this way–and only for a single virtual host.

 * Disregard.
 * 1. It wasn’t clear to me that if a backup fails, the “Download” icon downloads
   the log file instead of the failed archive. With this I was able to find out 
   that I was out of disk space.
 * 2. Resized the disk in GCP and expanded my file system.

 * This problem can also appear if you are adding media to a new page or post and
   haven’t saved it as a draft yet (or recently). Save the draft and then try to
   upload the media again and attach it to the page or post.
 * Easiest of all the solutions to try first.
