 * Hi,
 * New to this plug-in and cannot get backup to complete either manually or scheduled
   due to following error message.
 *  A filesystem operation failed while processing ‘Database/OBFW_Database.sql’ 
   for backup.
 * Failed at: 388(/nfs/c09/h03/mnt/137837/domains/myblogname.net/html/wp-content/
   plugins/wponlinebackup/include/tables.php)
    Attempt to compress to file /var/
   tmp/obfwGas9tv only partially succeeded. Only 237568 of 8388608 bytes were written.(
   0 bytes already written.)PHP last error: An error happened at: wp-db.php(1129)
 * Can you help? I’m not particularly savvy about working with in my file system,
   so dumbed down instructions would be appreciated!
 * Andy

 * Does it do the same thing every time? Is it always 237568?

 * Hi Jason,
 * Doesn’t seem to be the same every single time. I just ran a manual again, which
   failed. This time there was no error detail. It just said:
 * The activity failed:
 * Also, this warning shows up every time:
 * Table ‘wp_post_notification_cats’ has no PRIMARY or UNIQUE key! Backup of this
   table may be inconsistent; some rows could get missed. See FAQ for more information.

 * Hi andy,
 * So it didn’t show any error message, just “The activity failed:” and no actual
   error?
    Could you provide Help & Support information, please?
 * Could you also check you have enough free space available to perform a backup
   and that all space is not in use?
 * If you can catch what the last message on the progress bar was before it failed,
   that will be helpful too.
 * Thanks,
 * Jason
