Please upgrade your Akeeba Backup for Wordpress to the current version, 2.0.3. Your version is pretty old and you are missing a lot of bug fixes.

You are trying to upload a large file and I think the size of the file is the problem. Please go to Configuration, on the Archiver engine line, click the Configure button. Reduce the Part size for split archives to 100. If that solves the problem, we will need to experiment with the number to see how high we can get it before it fails.

Please clarify..
Is it include "chunk upload" on Dropbox Setting ?
Or only "Part size for split archives" on JPA Setting ?

What is chunk upload for anyway ?

dlb
I wanted you to make the change to the Archiver engine Configuration settings.

The chuck upload does something similar. It is actually part of the Dropbox API, it breaks the large file into smaller chunks, uploads the chunks then reassembles them on the Dropbox side. This is all done behind the scenes. So the end result is a single file uploaded in many smaller parts. A GREAT idea.

But it looks like your backup may be stopping when it is trying to prepare the next chunk in the file for upload. Breaking the archive into parts does it all manually and we end up with multiple parts on the Dropbox side but the advantage is less work during the upload.
