Website backup worked once before, but not anymore..
Any idea?

Thanks in advance!

Website backup worked once before, but not anymore..
Any idea?

well, the info is clear, isn't it?
did you or somebody else edit php.ini at your host?

Ask your hoster's support why ZIP-extension is not active anymore, at least ask them to activate it for you

in the meantime I suggest to download the data-folder for backup-reasons and zip it locally
good luck, Connie

Well, this is on my own server, and nothing has changed since last website backup. I have noticed components.xml is invalid - maybe that is the problem?

I saw that also, but I don't know if that's the reason, I doubt it

to recover the components.xml, download it, store it locally
log out of GS, clear the cache, delete the components.xml and log in again, it will be regenerated

maybe it is invalid because it could not be written due to the lack of host-space?

Cheers, Connie
