 * How can I clone my full website? (including Uploads) without WP STAGING stopping
 * I want to use the clone site to Test Plugin updates and WordPress updates, before
   updating them on the live site.
 * I tried to clone my website, but could only partially clone it. Cloning the database
   was OK. The problem occurred during File cloning.
 * Pretty quickly (0.3% Files cloned) cloning stopped. Plugin advice stated that
   file sizes are too big. In particular File Uploads (approx 1.5GB) and Updraft
   Plus Files (approx 2.8GB).
 * C Panel Hosting: Free space available (13.3GB) and is MYSQL Apache and mod_rewrite
   or NGINX
 * I deselected both File Uploads and Updraft Plus Files (UPDRAFT – NOT NEEDED) &
   Partial clone completed OK.
 * I now have a cloned website with no photos or mp3’s which is not a complete cloned
   site to use for testing Plugin Updates and W.P. updates

 * Please can you help?
 * I deleted the first partial clone site as above & tried again to clone the website.
   I de-selected Updraft Plus files from the clone I operated Plugin Optimizer for
   all Plugins, then Debug Mode. 10% of all remaining files were cloned.Then the
   clone process stopped.
 * Further I added QUERY MONITOR plugin but didn’t find any plugin php errors.
 * Do you have any helpful advice how I can resolve this issue?

 * Hi,
 * soory for not answering earlier. Since latest forum update we are not longer 
   informed about new forum requests.
 * Usually copying a huge set of files is not a problem but if some of your images
   are very big of its size than its intended to skip these files.
 * The copy process should not be interrupted or stopped, though.
 * if you send me the relevant log file and a screenshot from the time point of 
   happening i can debug this more.

 * Hi Rene,
 * Thanks. After file copying stopped I again de-selected updraft plus files and
   resumed copying. The staging site completed.
