 * Hi,
 * Is there anything else to the logs?
 * It appears to cut off, the last entries in the log file are some PHP notices 
   and then a warning and they appear to be coming from the plugin gravityforms.
 * Could you disable that plugin and then try a backup again to see if it works?
 * Best Wishes,
 * Ashley

 * Hi Ashley,
 * Thanks for the quick reply. Deactivating the gravityforms plugin did not further
   the backup unfortunately.
 * Here is the link to the latest log message: [https://pastebin.com/5vYYpiWM](https://pastebin.com/5vYYpiWM)

 * Hi,
 * Apologies for the delay.
 * It appears that the backups are failing.
 * It seems that you have a number of large ‘.tmp’ files in your uploads folder.
   
   If these do not need to be backed-up, I would recommend excluding them.
 * To do so, please add the following to the Uploads ‘exclude these’ list:
    ‘ext:
   tmp’
