 * Hello [@inntoon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/inntoon/) ,
 * The debug log that you submitted contains problems during backup creation, not
   the restoration.
 * Judging by the logs, the backup process “froze”. Your backup failed during database
   export, mostly due to its huge size.
 * 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.
 * Let me know if that resolves your issue 🙂
 * Thank you!
