Hello there !

 

I'm using Xcloner since... one hour ^^" And during a backup, i've seen this message :

 

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

Please open the administrator/backups/perm.txt file and look between lines 3500 and 3600, do you notice any large files you could exclude from your backup? Ovidiu

So, thank you for the answer !

Did you make any changes from the default XCloner config details? If not, then you should also see the backup_2012-09-07_13-31_hassisol.fr-sql-nodrop.tar file unless you have cleared that folder manually... otherwise, recreate the backup and follow my above advice...

I forgot to mention : the backup always stopped itself approximately at 40%.

I have the same issue, but I have nothing large between line 3500 and 3600

And if it helps at all, I am not on a dedicated server. That may be the issue and if so it's no big deal to me because it will still do the Database it self and I always download a >Zip of my website files every week manually anyway.

But any idea's would be cool as well 🙂

Check as well your disk space, the 3500-3600 lines reference was only for that specific error return, notice the startf=3500 from the error details....

Like I said, the download of the backup stop itself at approximativly 40% why I haven't any perm.txt file in this folder.

Any idea ?

I've got a similar error.  Everything used to work fine on this site.  I just updated to Xcloner 3.1.  I don't manage the server though and there have been some issues lately on it.  How do I track down where this problem is coming from?

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

Seems you need to exclude this file test_gd.php~ from your backup, or adjust it's permissions to reable by all users.
