Chunked jobs

Shared Hosting

Resumable chunked backups survive tight PHP time limits and memory caps on typical shared hosts. Large sites finish without demanding a dedicated VPS just to take an archive.

Why teams choose this

Jobs resume after timeouts

Large sites split into chunks so a single max_execution_time hit does not force a full restart.

Progress you can trust

Dashboard shows live percentage and stage so you know a stalled job from a slow host.

Optional encryption at rest

AES .venc archives protect copies sitting on shared infrastructure.

Tune without abandoning the run

Adjust performance and chunk settings when a host is slow — keep the same job moving forward.

Frequently asked questions

Quick answers about this capability. Still stuck? Open the docs or contact support.

Will backups work if PHP times out?

Chunked jobs are designed to resume after timeouts. A single short request may stop, but the overall archive continues from the last completed chunk.

Do I need a VPS for large sites?

Not necessarily. Many large sites complete on shared hosting with chunked backups. Extremely large or I/O-heavy sites still benefit from stronger hosting.

Can I encrypt archives on disk?

Yes. Optional AES encryption produces .venc archives so copies sitting on shared disks are not plain ZIP files.

How do I know a job is stuck vs slow?

The dashboard shows stage and progress. If progress advances between refreshes, the host is slow but working; stalled stages are easier to spot.
