    Hi there @Dermot Murphy

    I hope you are well today and thank you for your question.

    Could you let me know please how your using snapshot, just you save about your local server, but I’m showing here it’s installed on a live site, are you trying to take your snapshot from your live site and use that on your local server?

    Please advise.

    Thank you!

    Kind Regards

    Jack.

    @Dermot Murphy,

    I click run it says it is running…

    But does it actually finish??

    That is a small but in the UI. when you hover on the snapshot name it will show the restore option even if there are not backups to restore.

    On the All Snapshots listing in the far right column you should see an archive filename with a .zip file if the running snapshot finished. If not then there is your problem.

    Try running the Snapshot manually. This will show you the progress bars for each complete step. More important at the top of the progress bars table will be the amount of memory used during the backup. According to the System Info you are running the default 40M. So you might want bump this to 128M.

    To do this go back to the Snapshot > Settings panel. Just below System Info you should see the option to increase the memory used by Snapshot for backups and restores. This is different from increasing the memory via your wp-config.php http://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.php#Increasing_memory_allocated_to_PHP because it is just for Snapshot backup/restore. Where as the wp-config.php change is global to your site. Depending on the other plugins you are running the default 40M allocated by WordPress sometimes not enough.

    One other tip related to memory. It does not matter how much memory you define in your php.ini. WordPress will be default set a limit of 40M on single WordPress and 64M on Multisite. This of course depends on your PHP configuration.
