Hi @pmmueller
That happens when you or your hosting incorrectly configured HTTPS access.
E.g. Your host is on flexible SSL by CloudFlare and your WordPress is on http.
I think our developers can take a look at this for you and release it in upcoming version.
New version should be released this week.
Thank you for the report 🙂
Yep, WordPress is on http (DF doesn’t do Let’s Encrypt and only offers one free SSL certificate …).
Hi @pmmueller
I’ll send you today beta which fix for described issue (logs) 🙂
@edit: It was quicker than I thought:
Here it is: https://backupbliss.com/downloads/plugins/bmi-betas/backup-backup-1.0.9.15.zip
Please let me know if that solves the log issue 🙂

Sorry, but 1.0.9.15 did not really solve the log issue.
Progress bar now goes to 1% (stayed at 0 before, if I remember correctly), but it stays at 1% with the message »Step: Preparing backup process …« underneath.
There is no live log visible and no indication that the backup actually is finished.
At some stage I minimize the window (which then disappears altogether) and there is a new backup listed on »Manage & Restore Backup(s)«.
Hi @pmmueller
Sorry for the delay, our team were trying to reproduce your issue on different hosting providers unfortunately we couldn’t reproduce it especially with the new version (but we could with the old one).
Is it possible that you could send us console output during backup?
That could help us debug your particular issue.
To do so open “Inspect element” press F12 or Left click -> Inspect Element in your browser. Then please pick Console tab and run the backup.
There should be some warnings and errors. Make screenshot of them and send to us here or via email: [ support (at) backupbliss dot com ]
Thank you very much for you help!

About the site:
it may be worth knowing that access to /wp-admin/ is password-protected with .htaccess
About Backup:
Version 1.0.9.15 is installed. Progress bar as before goes to 1%. Log remains empty.
And today backup was aborted with an error »There were some hickups …«. After an initial “Loading …” that log also remains empty. Nothing to show you.
Console:
Chrome showed nothing, Firefox only this:
downloadable font: STAT: Unexpected non-zero offsetToAxisValueOffsets (font-family: “Dancing Script” style:normal weight:500 stretch:100 src index:0) source: https://fonts.gstatic.com/s/dancingscript/v16/If2cXTr6YS-zF4S-kcSWSVi_sxjsohD9F50Ruu7BAyo3Sup6hNX6plRP.woff

Can you access the log file directly?
I.e. Download the log file?
It should be available during backup under this URL:
<your site address>/?backup-migration=PROGRESS_LOGS&progress-id=latest_full.log&backup-id=current&t=2212203568090
Example:
https://example.tastewp.com/?backup-migration=PROGRESS_LOGS&progress-id=latest_full.log&backup-id=current&t=1612203568090
I found a log file via FTP in /wp-content/backup-backup/backups/latest.log

– Backup appears to be created in the background,
– the progress bar window doesn’t show progress or log
– when I finally minimize or stop it there is a backup

Summary:
The backup process seems to work fine when »Bypass web server timeout directive« is activated, log shows SUCCESS and backup is created.
It just doesn’t show up in the progress window to inform the user…
Hi @pmmueller
Yes that’s good but we also want to fix the issue with the logs.
It’s difficult since everything seems to work correctly, so far.
I didn’t get an answer for it:
It should be available during backup under this URL:
<your site address>/?backup-migration=PROGRESS_LOGS&progress-id=latest_full.log&backup-id=current&t=2212203568090
Example:
https://example.tastewp.com/?backup-migration=PROGRESS_LOGS&progress-id=latest_full.log&backup-id=current&t=1612203568090
This URL is used during backup to show you the progress logs.
If you can access it and it should display the same file you found via FTP, I really can’t tell what’s going on here.
But I also don’t want to give up that easily.
So, could you please confirm that above URL/schema works for you?
<your site address>/?backup-migration=PROGRESS_LOGS&progress-id=latest_full.log&backup-id=current&t=2212203568090
That’s the URL behind “Download Live Log” link in the progress window, isn’t it?
I right-clicked that, openend it in a new tab – and that browser window is absolutely empty. Just a white space …
Sorry. If there’s anything more I can do let me know, as I really like the plugin. It has already replaced backup plugins on most of my other sites (all with https and almost no problems).

Just to let you know:
I just made a manual backup with the same site, and it worked just fine.
Backup Migration Version 1.0.9.15
Everything worked fine.
Progressbar visible.
Log showed in the dialog.
And a backup was created.
Solved.
