Hi is this the first time this happens to you? Can you check the log files?
Sorry for the delay in getting back to you – I was out of town.
It’s the first time I’ve noticed it. For most of my sites I have the backup emailed to me but because of its size I usually download the latest backups to my local PC every two weeks for this one. But this time when I went to do so I noticed that nothing later than September was there even though it should be backing up every week. The logs don’t show anything unusual as far as I can tell. The cron job is certainly being triggered.
The unusual thing was that even when I initiated a manual backup and was told it was successful it did not appear in the server files. When I deleted all the existing copies and tried again the manual backup worked as it should and the backup was there.
I looked at a similarly set up site keeping four copies and I have two backups dated for May, one for July and one for September. But nothing since September even though it is a biweekly backup. However, because this site is smaller I was having the backup emailed and those are turning up but the same file that is emailed is not being saved to the server in the backup folder.
Hope that makes sense!
What are the logs saying? Are there any error messages in the log files? Did you make any changes to your website prior to this issue?
Ok thanks for the heads up.
I’ve made a tweak/improvement to this functionality and that will solve your issue. This fix will be available in the next release.
To mbrsolution: The logs show what I would expect them to show although I am curious as to why the “Daily cron handler got fired!” There is nothing I can see that is an error message and the backups show as being completed. They just wasn’t being saved. Other than content additions no changes were made.
To wpsolutions: Thank you.
