Cron Job Error File Size Limit Exceeded

I have tried running the cron job both manually and automatically and in both cases I get an error starting "File size limit exceeded".

 

In my php config I have changed the Max Memory Limit to 64MB and the Max upload file size to 4GB just to test and I am still having an issue.

 

Any ideas or suggestions on this?

You will need to contact your hosting support on that, seems you are not allowed to create files larger than a certain size on their server...

I thought the samething. They were able to create a 4GB cron job with no issues. Anything else you can think of?

I don't really, that message surelly comes from the server side, what is the final backup size you get after that error? Ovidiu

It never actually completes. When they backup file reaches 2GB is stops and throws the error "File size limit exceeded" and won't continue

That usually means you are not allowed to create files over 2GB on your server. What i suggest is you either exclude some files to get it under 2GB, or use the frontend generate backup screen where you XCloner uses a backup split option is by default is set to 2GB.

On more question.. The front end works fine when I set it to 1900MB.. When I look at the cron config it's set to do that samething but it doesn't look like it's making the split when it hits 1900MB. Does it split the archive once it fully completed or is it supposed to spilt while run cron job and hits 1900MB.. Or does it now work at all when using cron.

The split option does not work for the cronjob process as it's not implemented yet...
