 * Hi [@schoenholz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/schoenholz/)
 * You can try to run the backup again, if it still fails please add this to your
   wp-config.php:
    `define('BMI_USING_CLI_FUNCTIONALITY', 'Disabled');`
 * You can add it below this line:
    `/* That's all, stop editing! Happy blogging.*/`
 * It will disable the CLI check and continue without it.
    If you site is not huge
   it should solve your issue 🙂
 * Otherwise please try other backup methods, you can find them in “Other options”
   section at the bottom (but only if the 2nd try fail).
 * Let me know if that solves your issue 🙂
    Thank you!

 * Hi [@schoenholz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/schoenholz/)
 * It was after adding the definition to wp-config.php?
 * That’s how it should look like:

 * Hi [@schoenholz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/schoenholz/)
 * Are you on Windows Server?
    Could you please send us your site information via
   email?
 * You can download the dump in our troubleshooting section -> advanced settings-
   > Site info.
 * It’s strange that you’re getting the same log as above definition should completely
   disable the check that means the log should now be visible.
