[Plugin: Backup and Move Plugin] Error when ZipArchive not available

    The backup process is generating PHP Fatal error: Class ‘ZipArchive’ not found in backup_and_move_zip.php on line 9.

    Despite the error, the plugin does create a backup of the site. But it’s not zipped.

    From what I’ve been able to discover, it would appear that PHP on this particalar server didn’t have the required option compiled in when it was set up.

    Looking through WordPress itself – it looks like WordPress gets around the problem by reverting to PclZip if ZipArchive isn’t available. – See /wp-admin/includes/file.php around line 598

    (I’m not 100% sure if that’s correct. But it seems logical given that I’m able to unzip upgrades)

    Is there any chance of adding the same support to the Backup and Move plugin?

    Yes support can be added by that approach. I will consider adding it in next release.

    I’m able to make backups with no problem. I’m getting the same “PHP Fatal error: Class ‘ZipArchive’ not found” error when trying to restore a site from one server to another. Any suggestions?

    I think you have not placed .zip file along with restore.php during backup. If issue persists then plz post list of directory content.

    I know this is old, but what’s the reason in laymans’s terms, why the backup did not get compiled in a .zip file? I’m having the same issue and I’m not quite sure if I’m actually backing up my site or not.

    Is size a factor?

    Yup size or permissions. This issue will be removed in next release.
