Hi,

Since version 3.1.1, I can’t execute manual backups on one of my test blogs.
Manual backups work fine on other blogs.

This test blog is a multisite version of WordPress.

When I try and backup, I get the following message:

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

Details: parsererror -- SyntaxError:
Unexpected token T

JSON url:
admin-ajax.php?action=json_return&option=com_cloner&lines=6053&task=refresh&backup=backup_2014-05-29_06-23_mysite.com-sql-nodrop.tar&excl_manual=

Response body: There appears to be an unauthorized attempt from this site to
access your database located at http:// mysite.com. The attempt has been
halted.

Changing the Backup Refresh Mode induces the same error message.

I didn’t have this problem before.

Note that scheduled backups (cronjobs) still work correctly.

WP 3.9.1 (Multisite)

XCloner 3.1.1

Do you have any other backup plugins installed? If so, disable them then try again! Ovidiu

Hi Ovidiu,

Thank you for your reply.

I had WordPress Database Backup installed and activated on the network. I deactivated
it and the manual backup through XCloner worked fine again.

Then, I reactivated WordPress Database Backup and launched another manual
backup just for testing and it worked OK that time.

So, it is very strange.

Anyway I had never had such a conflict before.

Do you have an explanation for it?

Cordially
