Hi,

I am using "Backup and Migrate" module to create a backup.sql file whose size is 4 MB.
But while restoring this file, I can't upload this file using the upload form provided in the "Backup and Migrate" module, because of 2 MB file size restriction which I cannot change.

Can anyone tell me where to upload this backup.sql file using ftp so it gets picked up by the "Backup and Migrate" wizard while restoring it?

As an alternative, can you break up the file into a couple smaller files ?

I can't break the file into smaller files, and the problem will remain: the "Backup and Migrate" module won't be able to recognize it.

But if you can tell me the place where the file needs to be uploaded for Backup and Migrate module, I can upload the SQL file manually no matter what size it is.

If you go to your files directory (/files or /sites/default/files or wherever) you'll find a backup_migrate directory. In there there's a manual and a scheduled directory. Upload the file into either of those and you should be able to get to it under the destinations tab.

Those directories will have been created by your webserver so you may not have permissions to write to them using your ftp client. If you have issues, look up your host's instructions on how to change the permissions on a directory.

Hope this helps
