I have not experienced such an issue yet, but there are several thing that might be in your way. Is your webserver using a chaching technology? Are you going via a proxy? Does it seem that your backup Request gets triggered multiple times simultanuously? </p> http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/topic/backup-archive-has-3-files-for-each-backup-file-normal#post-432 Mon, 04 Feb 2008 23:52:52 +0000 johny 432@http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/ <p>Hi rol, great plugin. As xnd a full backup only creates 3 wordpress.sql files and does not create a directory called wordpress_files with wordpress files. This happens in a Linux Fedora environment but not in Windows. In windows all is OK. I use WP 2.3.1 with BackUpWordPress 0.4.5. memory_limit = 20M </p> http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/topic/backup-archive-has-3-files-for-each-backup-file-normal#post-407 Thu, 03 Jan 2008 18:19:18 +0000 oxullo 407@http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/ <p>xnd: I noticed this problem too.<br /> Indeed, even if the estimated filesize of the backup is about 7MB, I get a backup of 56MB.<br /> I peeked into the tar.gz and noticed that some files are repeated with no apparent reason.<br /> For example:</p> <p><code><br /> <pre><code></code></pre> </code></p> <p>'readme.html' is packed twice. Some files thrice.</p> <p>Any clues?</p> <p>Dear rol, thanks for your precious work and support.</p> <p>Wordpress 2.3.2, BackUpWordPress 0.4.5 </p> http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/topic/backup-archive-has-3-files-for-each-backup-file-normal#post-399 Fri, 28 Dec 2007 14:14:25 +0000 hbash 399@http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/ <p>Can the generated backup archive be used to move the blog to another server? </p> http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/topic/backup-archive-has-3-files-for-each-backup-file-normal#post-388 Fri, 21 Dec 2007 17:53:37 +0000 rol 388@http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/ <p>the backup archive should contain one directory called wordpress_files which contains all your WordPress installation files as well as one file called wordpress.sql containing a database dump of your blog's MySQL database. </p> http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/topic/backup-archive-has-3-files-for-each-backup-file-normal#post-373 Sat, 08 Dec 2007 17:45:11 +0000 xnd 373@http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/ <p>I've downloaded the backup archive i got in the mail on a windows machine and opened out of curiosity with winrar. And i've noticed there are 3 files for each backup file. Is this normal? Because i have a lot of pictures and stuff that already are pretty large in size so multiplying that by three I endup with a ~ 200 MB archive. </p> <p>Any suggestions ? </p>
