Description of my issue:
I have a site which is backing up to a JPS file, when I try to extract this on my desktop using Akeeba eXtract Wizard 3.3 I get an error "A decompression error occured when extracting the archive.". I tracked it down to a .zip file in a directory - when I set the backup to ignore this file it all works ok. I'm sure this wasn't a problem previously.

The zip file is about 15mb in size.

Have you come across this before? How can I include this zip file in the archive as it is important?

Cheers for your help,

Dave

Hi,

Thanks for the info, I have downloaded via FTP and the file looks ok - I've been able to unzip it fine.

Should I re-upload and try the backup again?

Thanks for your help as always,

Dave

Tried again but having the same issue - sorry

I thought the eXtract Wizard used the same process as kickstart, now I know it doesn't I'll try a local xampp kickstart restore and see if this works ok.

Thanks for your help,

Dave
