 * Im running the latest WP with the latest TimeMachine. Php5. WinXp desktop.
    Im
   backng up to Dropbox.
 * It appears to work and the wpTimeMachine-content-files.zip files are about 45
   meg.
    However – when I try go into the zipped folders they all appear empty and
   when I try to extract them the error message says the archive is corrupted.
 * Any ideas??

 * I had a similar issue. The problem was with my file compression software. I was
   using PowerArchiver which I replaced with jZIP and the problem disappeared. Let’s
   see,
 * 1. Download and Insatall jZip. ([http://www.jzip.com/](http://www.jzip.com/))
   
   2. Open your local Dropbox folder and locate wpTimeMachine-content-files.zip 
   3. Don’t download the archive to your local hard drive. Rather right click the
   file and under jZIP, select extract to and specify a local path (I used, C:\Documents
   and Settings\user\Desktop)
 * This is the configuration of my WP Time Machine plugin.
 * 1. File format: .zip
 * 2. Stop using Post Publish event to trigger backups
 * 3. Use time-stamped subdirectories to store multiple backups
 * 4. Exclude cache related directories (I’m not using a caching plugin. Still I
   decided to exclude cache related directories)
 * Tell me if this works…
