Hi @webprofsolutions
Your issue is most likely caused by modified PHP CLI.
You should be able to resolve it by disabling the checking step.
I have also provided you more adjustments that may help your process to finish quicker and be more stable.
Please open first section of the plugin named: “What will be backed up?”
Find subsection named: “Exclude by folder / file name (case-sensitive)”
Here add these three rules, like on image: https://prnt.sc/9oftADPd_Z7e
Once you do that, please follow these steps:
1. Go to “Other options” section
2. Change backup method: https://prnt.sc/1s1ofpa
3. Disable PHP CLI checking: https://prnt.sc/1sljr31
4. Modify query output (set to 3000): https://prnt.sc/B00M_inUs4WQ
5. Save “Other options” section
6. Force stop both processes: https://prnt.sc/1trv1tm
When you do that, try to run your backup once again.
Let me know if that worked for you ??
Thank you!
