In The appropriate setting is under BackWPup -> Settings -> Jobs. You’ll want to change the maximum execution time setting. * See this link for more information: [http://docs.backwpup.com/article/157-job-restarts-due-to-inactivity-for-more-than-5-minutes](http://docs.backwpup.com/article/157-job-restarts-due-to-inactivity-for-more-than-5-minutes) * Plugin Author [Alex Frison](https://wordpress.org/support/users/seville76/) * (@seville76) * [9 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/what-select/#post-9051771) * @kyra183 did the respond of Brandon help?

Please try setting your archive format to Tar GZip. You can do this by going to Jobs > [Your Job] > Edit, and under Archive Format, selecting Tar GZip. * If we were able to help with our answer, please mark this ticket as resolved.
