Snapshot backing up wrong sites under wrong IDs

In an attempt to be more efficient, we opened up two separate tabs for snapshot so that while one snapshot was completing we could fill out the information for the next snapshot. In this way we could work between two tabs to always have a snapshot under way.

It appears this causes snapshot to become confused as to which snapshot it is actually working on and results in one snapshot taking on the information from another.

I’m very surprised this plugin allows such bleed-through of processes.

I’ve instructed my team to ONLY perform ONE snapshot at a time but thought you should know about this issue ASAP.

    Hey @johnol! :slight_smile:

    Not seeing that this takes place on my own Multisite, this is what I did in the process of testing:

    – Opened two tabs, each for the purpose of creating a snapshot

    – Filled out the details in the first tab, and started the process of creating a snapshot

    – While it was doing that, I switched over to the 2nd tab, and filled out the details for that snapshot

    – As soon as the 1st snapshot had been created, I immediately started the 2nd snapshot. It seemed to be backing up what it should be (the database tables & files for that site)

    Does that match up with what you did? Or is there something I’m missing here?

    Please advise,

    Michael

    Hey @johnol, my apologies for the delay here!

    I tried doing that, but I found that I was still able to back up separate sites at the same time, without Snapshot Pro getting confused.

    Would you want to continue doing snapshots one at a time, or would you like to dig into the cause of this further?

    Please advise,

    Michael
