    This makes me wonder, since the WP plugin page says:
    “Bypass all upload size restriction
    We use chunks to import your data and that way we bypass any webserver upload size restrictions up to 512MB – commercial version supports up to 5GB.”
    What am I misunderstanding here?

      All hosting providers have upload restrictions. That means, you are limited to upload files of certain size. On most hosting plans, that restriction is 1MB but I’ve seen plans where the restriction is 10MB. The plugin divides the exported file into chunks, 512KB each, that can then be uploaded to your server without encountering these upload restrictions.

      We will need to change the language to explain this better in our readme file.

        I still don’t understand. 512kB is far less than the limits on both one.com and Strato, so why do they have a problem? Incidentally the import is also failing on my own shared host (123-Reg.co.uk) which has an upload_max_filesize = 8Mb.

        Hi Torste,

        Yes I also upload a back-up via FTP from my Localhost (MAMP) and restored it to the one.com web host – works fine.

        The problem is that one.com will not allow you to back-up your website with this, or any other tool, so once you have it there you can’t take back-ups – not very practical!

        I spoke to one.com and they recommended doing SQL database backup and use FTP to back-up files 🙁

    I just hope that all the customers of ONE.COM and STRATO.EU place requests to the hosting providers to adapt their size restriction or program a loophole for the plugin to work?

    I have just filed such a request to one.com and hope that they receive many more!!!!
