# [Plugin: BackUpWordPress] incorrect site size

 * I’ve been using this plugin for several months without any issue, and usually
   get site backups with a file size around 500-600MB … however, I’ve noticed my
   last few automatic backups were EXTREMELY small in comparison, topping out at
   16MB. Has anyone else had this issue before or know how to fix it? I’m fairly
   certain my site is much, much larger than 16MB – regardless of compression.
 * Thanks!

 * I’d suggest downloading one of the small backups and one of the larger backups
   and then comparing the contents of the zips to see where the difference is.

 * Modernhiker, I had the same issue, and noticed it was only backing up my database,
   and not the files, even though I had it checked to backup both.

 * I ended up just springing for the paid backup plugin BackupBuddy – it worked 
   perfectly the first time in. Sorry, BackupWordpress …
