Kinsta backups

SavedUploaded to Dropbox and the local copy is gone. Proof of the upload is the content hash stored with the row.

UploadedSafe in Dropbox, but the local copy has not been deleted yet. The only remaining work is pruning it.

DownloadedArchive on disk and not uploaded yet -- the local copy is the only one. The Kinsta link is still valid, so the backup could be fetched again if this copy were lost.

PendingThe link exists and is live, but nothing has been downloaded yet.

GeneratingBackup requested and the link is still being built. Normal for a few seconds, sometimes minutes.

StuckStill generating long after it should have finished. Limits by site size: under 1 GB - 15 min; 1 to 5 GB - 1 hour; 5 to 10 GB - 1.5 hours; over 10 GB - 2 hours.

BlockedKinsta has blocked this environment. Backup requests and cache clearing are disabled in MyKinsta while the site itself keeps serving, so nothing will progress until the block is lifted.

OfflineKinsta itself reports the generation operation as failed or missing, so waiting will not help. The site needs a fresh request once its container is healthy again.

CorruptThe archive downloaded, but its contents are unusable -- usually a truncated SQL dump. Kinsta keeps serving the same backup until a new one is built, so re-downloading it cannot help; a fresh backup is needed once the next window opens.

FailedAn operation broke on our side: a rejected request, a dropped connection, or a disk that filled up. These are usually transient, so the site is retried after an hour.

WaitingNothing in Dropbox yet, and the link has expired: the copy on disk is the only one in existence. It is safe there, but losing it loses the backup -- nothing can fetch it again.

ExpiredNo backup at all: none was downloaded, and the link died before one could be. Nothing is on disk and nothing is in Dropbox, so a week was lost. Nothing to do until the next window opens.

Not startedNever requested, or only previewed by a dry run. Nothing has been lost yet.
