 * Hello…I have a WP website called _[ redundant link deleted ]_. It’s a site devoted
   to football memorabilia. I want to create a second site that exactly the same,
   but devoted to baseball. I thought the easiest way to do this would be to clone
   the first site and then customize it for baseball. I used WPVivid Back up and
   everthing seemed to be working until I went to restore the uploaded files on 
   my new site. About half way thru the restore, it fails with the following message:
 * Restore failed: Error: WPVIVID_PCLZIP_ERR_BAD_FORMAT (-10) :
 * Unable to find End of Central Dir Record signature
 * Any idea what the issue is? The file size for the back up of the first site is
   5.58 GB and it was split into 30 different files, which I uploaded to the first
   site one by one. I was especially careful to make sure I uploaded all 30.
 * Any help would be greatly appreciated.
 * Thx,
 * Rob

 * It sounds like the zip file is corrupt. I recommend asking at [https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wpvivid-backuprestore/#new-post](https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/wpvivid-backuprestore/#new-post)
   so the plugin’s developers and support community can help you with this.
