Hello @mperrycr02
As your website seem to large to be handled by your current web server in terms of limits/performance.
We prepared PHP CLI tool that allows to backup directly via SSH. This way our plugin won't be limited by anything related to Web Server.
Always make sure you have enough space for the backup, I recommend you to add approx. 25% reserve to the free storage espace required.
Before you start with PHP CLI, make sure you have ZipArchvie enabled as your PHP Extension.
You can do that by typing:
php -r 'echo class_exists("ZipArchive") ? "true\n" : "false\n";';
– It should return true.
After that you can go to the root of your WordPress directory and then enter our plugin directory like that:
cd wp-content/plugins/backup-backup/includes
To get more details about the tool simply type:
php -f cli-handler.php
You should receive such help output:
========= BACKUP MIGRATION PLUGIN =========
Please specify CLI function: bmi_restore [.zip], bmi_backup or bmi_quick_migration
Examples:
– php -f cli-handler.php bmi_backup
– php -f cli-handler.php bmi_backup BMI_12-12-12_nameOfMySite_nameOfBackup.zip
– php -f cli-handler.php bmi_restore BMI_12-12-12_nameOfMySite_nameOfBackup.zip
– php -f cli-handler.php bmi_quick_migration "http://localhost/site/linkToMyBackup.zip"
========= BACKUP MIGRATION PLUGIN =========
To make backup simply use:
php -f cli-handler.php bmi_backup
Let me know if you need any further assistance with it :)
Thank you!
