Hi Ovidiu,

I just installed xcloner for Wordpress and start with the backup.

 

I received the message:

There was an error retrieving the JSON data from the server, try again or contact the developers

Details: error -- undefined

JSON url:

index2.php?option=com_cloner&task=refresh&json=1&startf=1640&lines=3424&backup=backup_2013-09-23_12-45_lebensring.com-sql-nodrop.tar&excl_manual=

 

after reading this forum I retried it several times and changed following settings step by step:

- Files to process per request: 5
- Database records per request: 50
- Exclude files larger than: 2

... but the error remains.  The process doesn´t continue after clicking retry, too

the rest of the screen details are:

Database backup...
[DB1412279] 14 tables (1.06 MB)

Filesystem backup...

Scanning files system... done! (Estimated size:67.94MB) in 3424 files

Processing
Files:
47% (1640 files)

Backup Name: backup_2013-09-23_12-45_lebensring.com-sql-nodrop.tar

Backup Size: 29.96MB

 

any further advice?

Thanks in advance

Tom

What is the generated file size in th View Backup section? Also, check the disk space available.

 

Try and set also the Backup Split option to 29MB and see how it goes! Ovidiu

Hi,

the generated backup size is shown with 30 MB.

I tried your recommended settings and it works! Laugh

Thank you for support!

The file sizes ar probably limited to 30MB on your hosting server, might want to check that with your hosting support! Ovidiu

Dear Ovidiu,

I get a similar message:

There was an error retrieving the JSON data from the server, try again or contact the developers!
Details: parsererror -- SyntaxError: Unexpected token <
JSON url: admin-ajax.php?action=json_return&task=recurse_files&mode=&nohtml=1&files=217

It used to work fine a few months ago, but I saw that the last successful backup back then had only 66 MB, whereas the current (failed) backups had 716 MB and 1.5 KB.

Changing the Backup Split option to 29MB did not help.

 

Would you happen to have any other solutions?

Thanks a lot in advance

Marcus
