 * Hi [@klinka](https://wordpress.org/support/users/klinka/)
    Could you try to untick
   XML export then try again?

 * I extend the runtime to 25 seconds first, so I didn’t get error messages anymore
   in the plugin protocols (only warnings about to large log files), but in the 
   e-mails I received from the daily backup reporting there were even more error
   messages.
 * I unticked the XML export, so the protocol in the backend remained the same, 
   no errors, only warnings and I didn’t get any e-mail reporting about the backup
   from yesterday.
 * Does unticking the XML export affects a lot the quality of my backup?

 * No, it does not affect the quality of your backup archive 🙂
    XML export can 
   only export posts, pages…, but database backup already cover that all, so that
   not necessary 🙂 For more information about XML export, you can check the official
   WordPress document here: [https://wordpress.org/support/article/tools-export-screen/](https://wordpress.org/support/article/tools-export-screen/)
   Hope that may help 😀

 * even though I unticked the XML export, but in my protocol reporting in the plugin
   in my backend everything seems fine. Can I just ignore this reportings?
