For some reason, my backups have stopped completing. They report completed. The log files report completion, but the directory still has temporary files .sql files, but not zip files.
In the backup directory:

In the log file from Sept 6, I see:

It generates an sql file and claims to close the zip file, but doesn’t seem to complete that. Any help would be appreciated!
September 7, 2021 at 7:33 pm #42570Jesse OwensKeymasterHi Robert-
Thanks for reaching out, and thanks for including all of the detailed log information.
First off, I’d like to recommend updating to Total Upkeep to the latest version, 1.14.13, because that update includes more detailed logging for errors like this that might help us troubleshoot further.
Specifically in this log, we see that it was Starting to close the zip file, but there should be another line that confirms the zip file finished closing successfully. The log ends prematurely without any additional errors or information being logged.
We have a detailed guide on steps you can take to troubleshoot this issue. In your case, the most likely step to help is switching the Zip Compressor to System Zip, if it’s available.
The most common cause of this problem is that the backup process was terminated by the server without any errors. Usually this is due to resource limitations. Often, using the system’s native zip command will be successful where the PHP Zip fails in this case.

I changed the zip file to system_zip and that seems to have done the trick, just as you said. The zip closing in the log file now looks like:
[2021-09-11 11:31:07 UTC] Starting to close the zip file.

I truly appreciate your help.
