    Hi @cristinoh

    This error most likely is related to the file amount on your server.
    Nevertheless, as the log is cut I can’t fully confirm that.

    To resolve the issue you may need to increase memory limit in your php.ini.
    I am quite sure that 256 MB is more than enough, but I don’t know what’s the size of your site.

    You can also try to do four partial backups, i.e.:
    – Only plugins + themes without database
    – Only uploads without database
    – All other files in wp-content without database
    – Database backup without files

    Later, you can restore them in the same order.

    Let me know if you need more details ??
    Thank you!

    As we didn’t hear any reply in last days.
    I can assume that you resolved the issue.

    Feel free to open new topic if I am wrong!
    Thank you ??
