Until that, it is recommended to use PHP 7.x first. * All the best, * Thread Starter [gordon1832](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gordon1832/) * (@gordon1832) * [5 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/failed-during-backup/#post-14029942) * It works now after changing to PHP 7.X. * Thanks! * Plugin Support [tonyrobins](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tonyrobins/) * (@tonyrobins) * [5 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/failed-during-backup/#post-14031486) * [@gordon1832](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gordon1832/) No problem, glad it works now! * All the best, * [pnodev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pnodev/) * (@pnodev) * [5 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/failed-during-backup/#post-14057875) * Just stumbled upon this error. It would be nice if the plugin description would not state then compatibility with “PHP 5.3 or higher”. At least a note in the Readme would be nice if this is the official advise 😐 * Plugin Support [tonyrobins](https://wordpress.org/support/users/tonyrobins/) * (@tonyrobins) * [5 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/failed-during-backup/#post-14058539) * Hi [@pnodev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/pnodev/) * Nice suggestion, thanks!
