Unable to Create Zip File With Uploads Option

[ravi-gill]

Hi there,

We are using the MU-Migration tool to export blogs/sites from a WordPress Multisite instance; however, the export breaks when the uploads directory for the blog/site is too large. For instance, it broke on a blog/site that had just under 700 MB of assets in its uploads directory. Below is the command line we used, and the error we got.

The error mentions QUERY packet so we increased the max_allowed_packet setting on MySQL to the limit allowed but it did not resolve the issue.

How can we resolve this issue?

Thank you
