Title: Backup halts Last modified: March 12, 2019 --- # Backup halts * Resolved [Dean](https://wordpress.org/support/users/collabora/) * (@collabora) * [7 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/backup-halts/) * Updraft has been working flawlessly for a couple years. Now backup hangs and never completes and I have to stop/end backup after several hours. They hang with a message such as next resumption: 0 (after -1552399579s). I’ve tried reducing chunk size to 50mb (was 400mb). Server load is 4-5 (10cpu) during backups. * WP: 5.0.3 PHP: 7.1.26 MySQL: 10.0.37-MariaDB Server: LiteSpeed safe_mode: 0 max_execution_time: 900 memory_limit: 512M (used: 106.7M | 110M) * End of log * 0107.367 (0) Adding batch to zip file (UpdraftPlus_BinZip): over 50 MB added on this batch (50 MB, 25363 files batched, 172 (1467) added so far); re-opening( prior size: 0 KB) 0112.835 (0) backup_2019-03-12-1238_Hiking_With_Dean_b7899b7e059b- uploads8.zip.tmp: size is now: 50.10 MB 0112.842 (0) A useful amount of data was added after this amount of zip processing: 6.8 s (normalised: 6.8 s, rate: 7502.5 KB/s) 0112.844 (0) Zip size is at/near split limit (50.1 MB / 50 MB) – bumping index (from: 7) 0113.844 (0) Created uploads zip (7) – 51255.8 KB in 5.5 s (9320.9 KB/s) (checksums: sha1: 0de94149d64732b9b333f369ed717a40aa2e6f7b, sha256: 76a3d7c6cc0660d7df7ce179be8a92516450ab51dabe6c66012ec03997e4ed06) 0113.849( 0) Zip: backup_2019-03-12-1238_Hiking_With_Dean_b7899b7e059b-uploads9.zip.tmp: 1500 files added (on-disk size: 0 KB) 0113.854 (0) Zip: backup_2019-03-12-1238_Hiking_With_Dean_b7899b7e059b- uploads9.zip.tmp: 1600 files added (on-disk size: 0 KB) 0113.861 (0) Adding batch to zip file (UpdraftPlus_BinZip): over 50 MB added on this batch (50.4 MB, 25363 files batched, 135 (1602) added so far); re-opening (prior size: 0 KB) 0119.472( 0) backup_2019-03-12-1238_Hiking_With_Dean_b7899b7e059b-uploads9.zip.tmp: size is now: 50.50 MB 0119.479 (0) A useful amount of data was added after this amount of zip processing: 7.5 s (normalised: 7.4 s, rate: 6919.4 KB/s) 0119.483 (0) Zip size is at/near split limit (50.5 MB / 50 MB) – bumping index (from: 8) Viewing 8 replies - 1 through 8 (of 8 total) * Plugin Contributor [bcrodua](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bcrodua/) * (@bcrodua) * [7 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/backup-halts/#post-11304451) * Hi, * Please could you send us a copy of the latest backup log? This can be found in the UpdraftPlus Existing Backups tab. * The contents will be too long to post here directly, but you can use an online service such as Dropbox or Pastebin, and post the link here. * Best Wishes, Bryle * Thread Starter [Dean](https://wordpress.org/support/users/collabora/) * (@collabora) * [7 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/backup-halts/#post-11305953) * here it is: [https://1drv.ms/t/s!AqeIgBl1WBFMhJ4Nna0eh85ju4hdGQ](https://1drv.ms/t/s!AqeIgBl1WBFMhJ4Nna0eh85ju4hdGQ) * [terry777](https://wordpress.org/support/users/terry777/) * (@terry777) * [7 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/backup-halts/#post-11315048) * I’m having what may be the same issue.

First I reduced the split to 100MG, and that worked, although it generated something like 20+ files (lots of uploads/images). Then I changed it to 200 and I think I ran it again and that worked. I will say that in between there were updates to plugins, the theme, and also wordpress (to 5.1.1), so I’m not sure exactly what made the difference. I even, early on, separated the upload backup from the theme/plugins/database backup, and that worked. * There’s been at least one update since I posted, and another just today, so if you haven’t already, make sure all is up-to-date: wordpress, theme, plugin, php. And of course, make sure you have enough space if you’re uploading to googledrive/ dropbox etc. * Good luck! - This reply was modified 7 years, 2 months ago by [terry777](https://wordpress.org/support/users/terry777/). * Thread Starter [Dean](https://wordpress.org/support/users/collabora/) * (@collabora) * [7 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/backup-halts/#post-11346198) * There was indeed another update waiting. I had recently updated to 1.16.8 – 13/ MAR/2019. After installing 1.16.9 – 22/MAR/2019 I was able to complete a backup. Later, I’ll kick the chunks back up to 400mb and see if it still works. * [terry777](https://wordpress.org/support/users/terry777/) * (@terry777) * [7 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/backup-halts/#post-11347260) * and there’s already a 1.16.10 available * Thread Starter [Dean](https://wordpress.org/support/users/collabora/) * (@collabora) * [7 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/backup-halts/#post-11456331) * Its failing again, the same way Viewing 8 replies - 1 through 8 (of 8 total) The topic ‘Backup halts’ is closed to new replies. * ![](https://ps.w.org/updraftplus/assets/icon-256x256.jpg?rev=1686200) * [UpdraftPlus: WP Backup & Migration Plugin](https://wordpress.org/plugins/updraftplus/) * [Frequently Asked Questions](https://wordpress.org/plugins/updraftplus/#faq) * [Support Threads](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/updraftplus/) * [Active Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/updraftplus/active/) * [Unresolved Topics](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/updraftplus/unresolved/) * [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/updraftplus/reviews/) ## Tags * [backup hangs](https://wordpress.org/support/topic-tag/backup-hangs/) * 8 replies * 3 participants * Last reply from: [Dean](https://wordpress.org/support/users/collabora/) * Last activity: [7 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/backup-halts/#post-11456331) * Status: resolved
