Handling a large media library, especially one around 133 GB, can be challenging for backups. Here are a few steps you can try to address the export issue:
1. Ensure that your PHP configuration allows for high memory usage and extended processing time:
– memory_limit
Set this to at least 512M or higher.
– max_execution_time
Increase to 600 seconds or more.
2. With a large media library, it may help to split the export into smaller parts. Try exporting only the database, themes, and plugins first, then export the media library separately
3. Confirm that there is sufficient storage space on your server to handle the backup process, including temporary files.
4. If the plugin log is unavailable, you can check the server’s main error logs via your hosting control panel (e.g., cPanel, Plesk) or through FTP. Look for recent errors during the export process for clues
5. If possible, consider removing any unneeded media files to reduce the size before creating the backup
