Why did my backup fail?
I need help!!
I have been trying to backup my database since yesterday morning but to no avail. You see, I made it a point to backup my stuff every Friday, eversince the incident that happened two months ago. So yesterday morning, I was doing the routine backup but the backup was never completed.

The most progress must have been about 70%. Nothing more. And I have tried refreshing the backup process countless times.
I thought the connection must have been slow (or weak, or whatever) yesterday, so I tried again this morning. The same thing happened, only worse. The blue bar never went beyond 50% *pulls hair*
Now, can anybody please tell me what the problem is? Please…??? By the way, I am using Scott Merrill’s WordPress Database Backup version 1.7.

By any chance, were you trying to also back up your spam filter or statistic databases? It isn’t the fact that its failing, it’s the fact that some databases have too much data in them that they take a long long long time to back up. Just don’t select them and continue as usual. You should be able to back it up well.
pelf: But when the backup process stops, it says DONE. And that gave me the idea that the whole thing stopped responding..
