If you receive the message saying that your .wpress archive is broken/corrupted;
- Re-download the .wpress backup from your exported site through FTP (instead of downloading from the Download Button, login using FTP and download the backup file directly from wp-content/ai1wm-backups)
- Upload the file that you extracted in step 1. using “Import from File” or upload it to wp-content/ai1wm-backups via FTP, and then restore it from the Backups section – please watch https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mRp7qTFYKgs for more details
If you have taken the above described steps and still encounter the issue, please contact us at support@servmask.com.
I tryed https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mRp7qTFYKgs , but I had same result.
Could you have any ideas?

Hi abhi,
I am sorry to hear that your site got hacked.
Would you mind sending your .wpress backup to support@servmask.com, so we can try importing it on our end?
Hi.
I just bought the unlimited extension, and dot the “Corrupted Archive” message.
So, I tried the above instruction, and now I’ve got a “The file is too large for your hosting plan.” message.
I can assure you that disk space and database space are more than adequate.
Can you help?
Thanks.
Hi Silvère,
I am sorry for the inconvenience.
Are you on GoDaddy?
Could you send us an email to support@servmask.com for premium support?
I got this error, when trying to import. I also tried to copy the file to the backup for import, but it still says corrupted archive.
I do not have ftp access on the old hosting. But I have downloaded the file twice with different download managers and the size is 100% identical.
The file is 9gb so trying too many times is not really an option – especially if issues are related to something else than the transfer.
The question is, is there a way to extract the content of the 9gb file? Or can you help me in anyway?
Thanks in advance.

I uploaded the backup file [nori_nao_2018_03_22.wpress] from http://traktor.servmask.com ?, but I will not move forward from the message [99% read from archive].
How should I do?
Thank you.

Hi,-
received “file corrupted” in both cases, too:
1. exporting to local file & importing from there via Plug-Ins under present & future host;
2. downloading to local file from present & uploading from there to future host via FTP, then restoring from wp-content/ai1wm-backups/ via backup function.
Is there any hope to get that working? File size is about 300MB.
Cheers, Leo
PS: the website given below is the present one
Hi Leo
Can you drop your file in to http://traktor.servmask.com and see if you can view the contents?

Your backup was not fully downloaded from the source site.
Instead of downloading it from the download button, please log in using cPanel or FTP and download it from the wp-content/ai1wm-backup folder.
