Backup Problems

Permalink
Hi everyone,

I've been trying to back up my website, Concrete5 hosted on dreamhost, for awhile now and it won't back up my site. I'm not getting any error messages or anything, I just get a blank page and when I pull up the website again there's no new backup. This makes me nervous because, obviously, backups are our friends. I'm pretty computer illiterate and don't know anything about coding but maybe somehow there's a code error for some reason? Is there anything I can do that might fix this?

Thanks!
Anne

If you are using the built in backup (pre 5.7), chances are the database has simply grown too big for it to complete a backup within a single web request.

You could backup using phpMyAdmin or other facilities from your host control panel. Have a look athttps://www.concrete5.org/documentation/how-tos/developers/backup-a-...
