 * Hello [@alexonbstudio](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alexonbstudio/) ,
 * It seems that there is rather large database in your backup file. For that, I
   would recommend that you create a new backup on the source site, before you run
   the restoration on the destination site:
 * In first place I’d recommend you to perform full cleanup and optimize all your
   tables.
   You can do that easily with help of free and simple plugin.Check it out:
   [https://wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-database-cleaner](https://wordpress.org/plugins/advanced-database-cleaner)–
   Cleanup won’t remove anything that is in use, so, no worries.
 * Then, follow these steps carefully:
    1.  Download and install “Advanced DB Cleanup” plugin
    2.  Do full Cleanup and optimize all tables using Advanced DB Cleanup plugin
    3.  After that you can already remove mentioned cleanup plugin if you wish
    4.  Go to Backup & Migration plugin settings
    5.  Open “Other options” section
    6.  Disable PHP CLI checking: [https://prnt.sc/1sljr31](https://prnt.sc/1sljr31)
    7.  Change backup method: [https://prnt.sc/1s1ofpa](https://prnt.sc/1s1ofpa)
    8.  Enable database batch export: [https://prnt.sc/bn7MjTUxHuEe](https://prnt.sc/bn7MjTUxHuEe)
    9.  Save “Other options” section
    10. Force to end both processes (troubleshooting): [https://prnt.sc/1trv1tm](https://prnt.sc/1trv1tm)
 * Right after the last step, you can run the backup process once again.
 * —
 * Once you have the new backup file created, please also apply these settings on
   the destination site:
 * Open “Other options” section
 * Disable PHP CLI checking: [https://prnt.sc/1sljr31](https://prnt.sc/1sljr31)
 * Change backup method: [https://prnt.sc/1s1ofpa](https://prnt.sc/1s1ofpa)
 * Enable database batch export: [https://prnt.sc/bn7MjTUxHuEe](https://prnt.sc/bn7MjTUxHuEe)
 * Save “Other options” section
 * Force to end both processes (troubleshooting): [https://prnt.sc/1trv1tm](https://prnt.sc/1trv1tm)
 * Lastly, start the Restoration from the freshly created backup file.
 * Let me know if that resolves your issue.
   Thank you!
