Funny thing is, when I look in my directory there is a zip file there, but when I try to open it, it says its corrupted.

I have not adjusted any of the coding for Backup ZC since it has been installed.

Any ideas? Thank you!
Each web account gets xxxx MB of drive space. It sounds like you have maxed out your drive space.

Are you storing the files on the web server or downloading them?
Also how many total MB is BackUp ZC saying there is?

If you are backing up Zen Cart database each day and creating a zip file. Then all the sql files and all the zip files are adding up to your drive capacity. If you are downloading then the zip file will not be on the server but all the sql files will be, and they are adding up.

There is much debate on how often a backup is needed and how to store the backup information on a media that is archival.

My suggestion is that you back up once a week at a minimum, and any time you change something. Leave one backup on the server and download and archive the rest. Then and only then delete the rest off the server.

Note: BackUp ZC is a server intensive application it uses all the power that the server allows. So please run when your site traffic is low. This will help your hosting company and make for a happy server.
