Hello !
Upfront I'll have to admit that XCloner is a great Script !
I do not have any problems whatsoever by small backups, my main Site is about 150Mb.
The fun starts when I try to backup my Forum and that is larger than 750Mb.
It can't be a problem with a timelimit or memorylimit, because I have enough of both in reserve,
I have added below the possible limits for both !
php_value max_execution_time 3600
php_value memory_limit 1024M (I have not tried this !)
Any suggestions ???
Many Thanks

Hello !
Just discovered a very funny thing.
As I have a big enough Webspace, I just setup a Subdomain and Installed WordPress,
after that I installed the XCloner Plugin.
I setup a Backup process (from the WordPress Plugin),
for the Subdomain that I could'nt backup (> 750Mb), let it run and see there,
it worked without any hitches, a second run with Database also worked !!!!! 
Would the WordPress Plugin also work as a Standalone ?, I'm going to try it anyway !
Maybe You will find this helpfull.
Many Thanks

Please check with your hosting support, they might have a file writing limit. XCloner does have an option to split backup archives when a certain size limit is reached, you can find it in the XCloner Config->System tab, current limit is 2GB.

Hello !
Both instances of XCloner are on the same Server, by the same Hoster !
Please read my Second Post.
Thankyou

K, to asnwer your second post, yes, XCloner plugin can also run standalone.
As for the 750MB issue, i am not sure what the issue might be, do you get any specific error or just a general error message? is the disk space enough to make that backup for that site?

Hello !
OK, I'll try the Wordpress Plugin as a Standalone version,
when I have the Plugin installed and it works, I'll get back to You.
750Mb issue: No Error, it just stops and I only get an Archive between 250 and 300Mb,
space is enough, at the moment around about 25Gb and a couple of months it will be 50Gb.....
Many Thanks

Try decreasing the "Files to process per request" option to a smaller value inside the XCloner Config->System tab, and see if that makes any difference, also, make sure the compress moed for backups is disabled.

Hello !
Tried what you said, did'nt work : files per request & no compression
WP-Plugin does not work as Standalone, only from within WP ?!?
Thanks

To use it as standalone plugin, simply download the standalone version from our site and upload them into a directory of your choice, then access that location directly in your browser...

and that's the problem, the Standalone version has problems with files over 750Mb,
I'll have to install a small version of Wordpress and work from there.
