Hi @mizterwi2
It failed but there is progress, now it started backup process.
Your new debug code, tells me that the backup was cancelled by Apache Web Server.
It was most likely caused by KeepAliveTimeout directive in Apache configuration.
We have alternate backup method, that can bypass this limitation.
Simply, follow below steps, there are also other things you can improve.
– Improve exclusion rules, to remove unwanted files –
Please open first section of the plugin named: “What will be backed up?”
Find subsection named: “Exclude by folder / file name (case-sensitive)”
Here add these three rules, like on image: https://prnt.sc/9oftADPd_Z7e
– Modify plugin configuration –
Once you do that, please follow these steps:
1. Go to “Other options” section
2. Change backup method: https://prnt.sc/1s1ofpa
3. Save “Other options” section
4. Force stop both processes: https://prnt.sc/1trv1tm
In “change backup method” screenshot you can find three options, first is the default, second is the server-side (slowest) but allows to use automatic backups and third is browser-sided, uses your browser to keep the backup running. Last method does not support automatic backups.
I recommend you to firstly try second option if you want to have automatic backups. If that won’t work, go for third option as last hope.
You have also few more advanced solutions, but it’s difficult for me to provide you detailed solution for them as I need more details about your server.
I.e.:
a) Manually set correct PHP CLI path
b) Modify web server configuration to increase TimeoutKeepAlive option.
When you do that, try to run your backup once again.
Let me know if that worked for you 🙂
Thank you!
