    On a particularly large site, UpdraftPlus split the uploads zip into several files (…uploads.zip, …uploads2.zip, etc.). When I tried to upload these to another site to migrate (yes I have the Migrator plugin) it said “Please make sure you uploaded a zip created from UpdraftPlus”. What should I do?

    Hi Rondal,

    This message indicates that something has renamed the zip filenames. Do you have a Mac? Sometimes these (un-)”helpfully” change things with zip files. If not, then have you changed the filename by hand?

    Either way – the solution is to rename the zip file back to its original filename.

    Best wishes,
    David

    No. I do not use a Mac. The backup script is the one creating them. I see it in the log.

    It splits it into several files.

    There are multiple files on the server.

    Hi,

    Please can you send a screenshot of the file you are drag-dropping into UpdraftPlus, and of the error message? Use https://snag.gy if it helps.

    Best wishes,

    I told you the names are the default names with just the numbers after.
    Here is part of the log:
    Beginning creation of dump of uploads (split every: 500 Mb)
    It created
    [sitename]-uploads.zip
    [sitename]-uploads2.zip
    [sitename]-uploads3.zip
    etc.

    Hi Rondal,

    Splitting into multiple zips is an intended feature – the numbers are used to show where in the sequence the particular archive comes. So, wherever the problem is coming in, it’s not there. I would need the requested info from my 9:40 post in order to be able to get more insight into what might be the problem you’re having.

    Best wishes,

    I’m having the same problem uploading the “uploads” and “uploads2” zip files. The names seem correct, but I get error -202 when I try to upload.

    Hi Timothy,

    From the brief description, that sounds like a different issue. I’d recommend following the tip given for using an alternative upload method, in the paragraph just above the drag/drop widget area.

    Best wishes,
    David
