  • It is likely that there is a malicious file in your backup. I would suggest a security scan on your website

    Thanks lesleym.
    Scans don’t find malware, but they do highlight the fact that the WordPress version on the original server is outdated.
    Maybe Norton is treating old WordPress files as a risk?
    I’ve solved my issue using an alternative method. Hope similar issues don’t impede other people’s migrations.
