Frequently Asked Questions
Common questions about UpdraftPlus: WP Backup & Migration Plugin
Here are the installation guidelines from our YouTube channel or from our website.
If you’re struggling to backup, migrate or restore there’s help available. Search existing topics on the WordPress support forum or post a new one. Our support and development teams check and respond to queries everyday. UpdraftPlus Premium customers can log a ticket directly with our support and development teams via the UpdraftPlus support hub. Before you get in touch, please ensure that you have read through our <a href=https://updraftplus.com/frequently-asked-questions/">FAQs and that you’ve updated to the latest release of our plugin. It helps greatly if you can include the backup log and as much other information as possible in your report, for example the PHP version, your website, the error description, how you got to the page that caused it, any other relevant plugins you have installed, plus any other information that might be of use. To find the backup log: there are links to download the logs on the UpdraftPlus settings page in the plugin - or you may be emailed it. Failing that, FTP into the directory wp-content/updraft and look for it there. If you know how, please send your PHP error logs - just the few lines that appear when you run a backup, often the file called error_log, possibly in your wp-admin directory which you can check via FTP. If you’re a programmer that can debug and send a patch, that’s even better.
Migrating in the free plugin involves downloading the backups from the source site then uploading these to the destination site. To find the backup log: there are links to download the logs on the UpdraftPlus settings page- or you may be emailed it. Failing that, FTP into the directory wp-content/updraft and look for it there. Both free and Premium plugins include a built-in search-and-replace engine to replace old strings with the new location. If migration is all you require, and for simple single site migrations the free plugin will likely be enough to meet your needs. If you have additional needs around backups e.g. the ability to backup before updates, if you require more remote storage locations or if you have a WordPress multisite then we recommend UpdraftPlus Premium for the additional benefits that it brings.
This problem is probably caused by your account being starved of resources by your (cheap) web host provider. This is far from ideal; although UpdraftPlus supports resuming backup runs right from the beginning to avoid everything having to be done at once, it has its limits. The best thing is to choose a more reputable web host. Failing this, try going into the “Expert settings” and reducing the size at which zip files are split. UpdraftPlus is known to successfully backup websites that run into the multiple-gigabytes on web servers that are not resource-starved.
