Splitting Size

    Hi 🙂
    I have 2 questions:

    1- Is there any difference in backup time if I set splitting size 4000 mb in compare to 400 mb? Any difference of pressure to resources?

    2- During the backup my website went down, and I saw database error. Hosting told me:

    it appears that your VPS killed the MYSQL process automatically as it reached out of RAM:

    Feb 6 14:24:25 vps kernel: [1875083.042052] Out of memory: Kill process 11038 (mysqld) score 96 or sacrifice child
    Feb 6 14:24:25 vps kernel: [1875083.042301] Killed process 11038 (mysqld) total-vm:1037552kB, anon-rss:198128kB, file-rss:0kB

    So I couldn’t take backup. Is there any way to solve this?

    Thanks

    Finally I could take backup without my server goes down. But after backup, I noticed the zip backups have been removed from updraft folder in wordpress. However I set “retain this many scheduled backups” to “1”. So why the have been removed?

    This is my log file:

    Hi,

    Lowering the backup archive split size will mean that less memory and temporary disk space is required to process each backup file. The downside is that this results in a larger number of files.
    If you are having issues backing up, I would recommend reducing the split size.

    From the log, it appears that the latest backup completed without any issues.
    After each file is successfully uploaded to remote storage, UpdraftPlus deletes the local copy by default. This is to reduce the disk space that is taken up.

    You can change this with the ‘Delete local backup’ option in the expert setting section of the Settings tab.
