snapshot backup doesn't seem to include all tables

I have “Include all blog database tables in this archive. This will automatically include new tables.” checked in my snapshot settings. As I watch it process through the list of tables, it’s very clear that not everything is there… seems like it’s skipping all of the sub-sites in the database. Am I missing a setting of some kind? Or does the archive process skip sub-sites even if the plugin is network-enabled? Confused…

    Howdy again @peter_harris

    Snapshot won’t backup all your sites at the same time. It sounds like you are backing up the main site, so it won’t include any subsite tables, you can then search for a subsite on your install and back that up, it will include just the subsites tables.

    This is so that the file sizes are manageable and MOST hosts dont kill of the snapshot process before it completes. There is currently no way to push one button to back up the whole network with Snapshot PRO

    Oh wow, so even though I was running this in the Network area, it doesn’t back up the network. I guess this effectively isn’t useful at all on multisite, but only single installations.

    Guess I’ll have to look for a totally different solution. :slight_frown:
