Backup tasks runs for ever

[KKParticipant]

Hi,

I tried to backup but it was not working.

When i tried complete backup with log, it started working… but finally i was redirected to a blank page and backup stoped (in the log)

When i checked in updraftplus backup page, the backup was running forever…

No progress in the log file as well…

How to get it working?

Thanks

Hi,

Is the WordPress scheduler functional on that site? If it’s showing a “next resumption” which is very far in the past, then it seems like the WP scheduler is not firing. Use the free plugin “WP Crontrol” to confirm whether your scheduled tasks are running or not.

I have this same problem. I am using Godaddy’s WordPress managed hosting. If I use the WP Control plugin and find a problem, what do I do then???

This was working fine until I attempted a manual backup right around midnight (within seconds of midnight). Then I started to the the (negative) countdown for the next rertry — going more and more negative.

Hi Frederick,

Crontrol will show you a list of tasks registered with the WordPress scheduler, and the times that they are due to run. If you have tasks that are due to run in the past, and have not run, then this shows that the scheduler is not working.

This page also has useful information about the scheduler, if it is broken and how to fix it: https://updraftplus.com/faqs/my-scheduled-backups-and-pressing-backup-now-does-nothing-however-pressing-debug-backup-does-produce-a-backup/

Best wishes,
David
