 * Hello,
 * I always do manual backups but once tried to schedule weekly with 0.9.133, then
   disabled schedule backup again. Since then, all backups (Database + Files (WordPress
   Files) have failed. Same story goes with 0.9.134. Manual Backup stops at the 
   step “Preparing to dump table wpxv_posts Progress: 13%, running time: 5 min(s)
   35 second(s)”.
 * Note : all subdomains don’t face this backup issue, certainly because i never
   enabled then disabled the backup schedule feature.
    - WP 9.6.7
    - php_version 8.3.33
    - web_server LiteSpeed

 * Hello,
 * Please go to WPvivid settings and update the **‘PHP memory limit for a backup
   task’** to 1024 MB or 2048 MB (ensuring it is larger than the total size of your
   database) and set the ‘**PHP script execution timeout for backup**‘ to 300 seconds.,
   then try running the backup again. Afterward, please let us know if the issue
   is resolved.
 * Regarding your note about subdomains not having this problem: is this website
   a WordPress Multisite setup?
 * Kind regards.

 * Hello,
 * Wow, thanks a lot. Backup is working again. In settings/advance settings, i changed
    - PHP Memory Limit for backup to 1024 from 256
    - PHP script execution timeout for backup was already set to 300
 * Note: no wp multisite setup
