I am requesting assistance with backing up my data for download. I frequently encounter interruptions and unavailability when trying to download backups. Could you please provide some help, such as transferring the backup to Google Drive or a similar service? Thank you very much!
Hello,
Your backups are on the MySQL service, and the latest one is about 700 MB (stored in our object storage; downloading from China requires cross-border transfer, which is usually the main cause of interruptions).
You can try downloading using a method that supports resuming interrupted downloads, so you don't have to start from the beginning if it disconnects:
curl -L -C - -o backup.zip "<download_link>"
The download link is valid for about 15 minutes. If it expires, go back to the Dashboard to copy a new link, then run the command above again to continue (it will resume based on the bytes already downloaded, not from the beginning). 3. You can also use download tools like Motrix, aria2, or IDM that support automatic resuming; the effect is the same.
Additionally, I would like to know: what is your approximate download speed? If it's convenient, please also mention at what point the download usually interrupts.
不是的，我rph-forum的服务全部都是sqlite，没有用到mysql，导致一个备份高达5个g以上，我实在无法备份了，每次都会中断
We have checked and currently see no records of the Zeabur backup feature being used for rph-forum. To assist you further, I would like to clarify your current situation:
Please describe your current situation so I can provide a targeted solution.
I am unable to use the Zeabur one-click backup feature because it exceeds the 5GB limit. I have to rely on downloading from the file system, but the download is not working; it keeps showing 'processing' and the speed is extremely slow.
Hello, understood. Your rph-forum data is an approximately 5.1 GB SQLite file, which is indeed too large for a direct download.
We can assist you by creating a consistent backup of forum.db directly on your dedicated server, compressing it (to approximately 3.6 GB), and then uploading it to Google Drive so you can download it more reliably.
If you would like us to proceed, please provide your Google Drive account (Gmail address), or we can generate a shareable link and send it directly to your email.
Thank you so much! You are all so thoughtful! After many attempts and cleaning, I was finally able to back up and download to my local machine on Zeabur. The issue has been resolved, thank you so much!
That's great, I'm glad the issue is resolved!
Also, I'd like to share an update: the current 5 GB backup limit does indeed cause inconvenience for large files (especially single-file databases like SQLite). We are currently working on refactoring the entire backup/restore process, which will also address this 5 GB limit. Once it's live, handling large backups like yours will be much smoother.
Feel free to open a new thread if you need anything else. Best of luck! 🙂
