 * Hi,
 * I’m trying to migrate a copy of a site into a sub folder on my staging site so
   we go do some major changes to a copy of the site.
 * However, I’ve created the backup, but when I try and get it to migrate across
   using the direct migration link it fails.
 * The Debug code is BMI-uHZQLBQc-96892
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fmigration-failed-at-18%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hello [@mkcwebdev](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mkcwebdev/),
 * Please upload the backup file manually to the destination site, and then run 
   Restore. You can manage all of this from the plugin section “Manage & Restore
   Backups”.
 * –
 * In the method that our plugin selected for you, there is a need to keep the computer
   running and be on the page while it’s ongoing to keep the process (as the browser
   is used as middleware).
   The last thing that could cause such an issue is browser
   extensions or security plugins but I couldn’t find any security plugin on your
   site, maybe you had it installed previously and it kept their files after removal.
 * In terms of browser extensions adblockers, resource limiters, and RAM control
   plugins can cause similar issues, so if you’re using Opera GX, Firefox, or Brave
   browser, it may just not work out of the box.
 * Let me know if that resolves your issue 🙂
   Thank you!
 * Kind regards
