Hi
Just attempting the upgrade to 327 and getting the Ajax error. I have downgraded to 326 and still the Ajax error. But that's not what this is about.

Looking around at logs whilst trouble shooting the 327 upgrade, I see that failed backups have been a regular occurrence over the last 4-5 months. But for the last week - they have failed - I haven't changed anything on the site since Apr 8th.

This is now joomla 1.5.23 on a Godady shared hosting. Following is the log file showing how often the backups fail.

Q: What things can I be doing to improve backup reliability?

Instead of giving me a list of failed backups it's best to ZIP and attach the log file of the latest failed backup so that we can debug this issue. Before doing that, please make sure that you followed all of the steps outlined in this page, especially those referring to free disk space.

If following all of these instructions, to the letter, fails, please supply all of the information mentioned in this page on your next post so that I can effectively help you solve this issue.

Thank you for helping me help you!
