Have you tried 7zip on the website backup file?

Installed 7zip. Website files extract with quite a few filesize errors without identifying specific files. Not overly concerned about website files.
BU Database only. files appear in 2 places according the screen after the BU is completed. Tried all compressions. Both locations 0MB files. That is not what I expected.

Really glad I found this out when needed to restore BU sandbox files instead of really needing to restore the live site.

Quitting time for now. Another look tomorrow.

Thanks for checking it with 7zip.

What it sounds like is that the script is over running the memory setting of php.

If you can control php settings in your .htaccess file try these settings.

php_value upload_max_filesize 30M
php_value post_max_size 30M
php_value max_execution_time 400
php_value mysql.connect_timeout 240
php_value memory_limit 1024M

It works fine until recently. Two days ago, when I run it, there was nothing shown on screen and got a message in log file as "PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '""' (T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING), expecting ')' in (... the path...)/backup_zconfig.php on line 69".
zen-cart version: 1.5.1
php version:5.4.25
BackUp ZC version: 1.1

guess it is a php version problem. Is anybody use it on php version 5.4.25 or higher?

The backup excludes files with XX in the button column. How can I include them?

[barco57]

youradminfolder/backup_zconfig.php

// ***********************************************************************
  // Set default exclude directories
  // ***********************************************************************
  $exclude_files = array("".DIR_FS_CATALOG."cache",
  						 "".DIR_FS_CATALOG."extras",
  						 "".DIR_FS_CATALOG."pub"
  						 );

Though you should just delete the extras folder anyway...not needed.
the pub folder is only useful if your selling downloadables, as its the folder the symlink goes in for download waiting for the customer to download. So if your not selling downloadables you can delete the pub folder also.
