 * Hello,
    I have a large website (48 GB) with many large (>500 MB) files. The backup
   I did (with the archive split every 400 mb) appears to have been successful, 
   but I am concerned about the error warnings that were generated almost throughout
   the entire log. If “The backup apparently succeeded (with warnings) and is now
   complete.” – does that mean I can trust it?
 * The warnings are all essentially like this:
    0916.376 (0) PHP event: code E_WARNING:
   ZipArchive::close(): Write error: No space left on device (line 3297, wp-content/
   plugins/updraftplus/backup.php) 0916.377 (0) The attempt to close the zip file
   returned an error (Unknown: ZipArchive does not return error messages). List 
   of files we were trying to add follows (check their permissions).
 * For more info, here is the log; it is 17 MB.

 * Thank you for any help.

 * Hi,
 * “0916.377 (0) The attempt to close the zip file returned an error (Unknown: ZipArchive
   does not return error messages). List of files we were trying to add follows (
   check their permissions).”
    > This usually means that UpdraftPlus has file permission
   issue. The following article on Smashing Magazine is a good guide as to the file
   permissions/ownerships that are required for WordPress: [https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2014/05/proper-wordpress-filesystem-permissions-ownerships/#file-and-folder-ownership-for-wordpress](https://www.smashingmagazine.com/2014/05/proper-wordpress-filesystem-permissions-ownerships/#file-and-folder-ownership-for-wordpress)
 * Also, check and make sure there is more than enough space for backups on your
   server.
 * Regards,
    Bryle
