Please can you help?

 

I'm using generic XCloner V3.0 Standalone (on a WordPress site).  I think I've configured all the options. 

 

I run a manual backup and I'm told this:

 

Initializing Backup

…….(file path)…. test1.tar  created, we may continue.

Database Backup…

(database name)  - 19 tables 0.36MB.

File System Backup…. 

Scanning files system…. done    (estimated size 51MB) in 2700 files.

Processing files … 100% (2700 files)

Backup Name test1.tar

Backup Size  0.01MB

Backup Complete

 

In the administrator/backups directory there is nothing but index.html – no backups.

EDIT - test1.tar is actually created but is only 10kb

 

Can you please suggest what I look at to fix this problem?

 

Thank you for this software.

How much disk space do you have available? Try and increase that and see if it helps...

Thank you for the suggestion.

 

The web account has 'unlimited' storage space so I don't think that is the problem.

 

Any other suggestions?  I can't find a log file anywhere?

 

Thank you.

Could you post here a screenshot after your XCloner Config first tab as well as the Info tab?

That usually means your Backup Start Path folder is unwriteable, please adjust permissions on that folder then try again!

Everything looks fine in the screenshots you've posted, can you post a screenshot after a completed backup screen as well? Ovidiu

This is the backup dialogue......

(The site is a wordpress install on a subdomain with an htaccess file in the XCloner directory telling WP not to rewrite urls..... )

Thank you for your help.
