 * Im trying to backup a site (through MainWP, although this fails doing it from
   the site directly also) and I keep getting the error that it fails to respond
   after ten seconds and to check the information page which shows me this error:
 * Server self connect: Not expected HTTP response: Status-Code: 204
 * Any suggestions would be welcomed with open arms!
 * Thank you

 * [@scottgrin](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scottgrin/), this means that
   wp-cron is not accessible, and gives a 204 status code. I’ve never heard of this
   status being given, so it may have something to do with your host. I would recommend
   letting them know that your wp-cron is returning this error and see if they can
   fix it on their end.
