Hey 🙂
So my best guess is that your backup is over 2GB and your on a server running a 32bit version of PHP?
If so it’s a known issue we need to fix: https://github.com/humanmade/backupwordpress/issues/430
If that can’t be the issue (because you’re not on a 32bit version of PHP or the backup is smaller than 2GB then there must be something else going on, if so, would love to debug and fix!
The size of the backup in the list and the site size calculating message aren’t connected, it should just read the size by stating the backup file directly (which is what fails on 32it systems as they can’t stat files larger than 2GB).
Hi Tom,
Yes – files are a little over 2Go and server is running 32bit php. :\
Saving these has files has worked once out of several tries – despite the date glitch, the zip is on the server with what looks to be correct file size (though I haven’t actually verified the files, downloading 2Go on my 3Mo connection would be painful).
Have tried excluding everything non essential but unfortunately it’s still coming up over 2Go…
Will test the plugin on others sites though where I’ve had difficulties in other areas (like long file names, etc). No one size fits all solution for backups!
cheers!

aha, cool good to know that is the issue.
We have a major new version in the wings actually, 3.0 is a full redesign and a much improved excludes experience, would love to get your feedback on the beta if you’re up for it, it’s available here: https://downloads.wp.xz.cn/plugin/backupwordpress.zip
would you like me to post feedback here? email? elsewhere?
Email ([email protected]) or Intercom (the support button in the admin) would be great!
Thanks!
Hey Tom,
