Here is their response:<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>&#8220;&#8221;I recreated the issue and even though I optimized the process by selecting only the vital WordPress folders from within the wp-content directory it still failed on the step &#8220;Archiving of files&#8221;. Unfortunately, no error is being shown or recorded, so I was not able to find what is stopping the archiving process. I noticed however that if I select only the basic WordPress files without wp-admin, wp-content and wp-includes the process completes successfully.<\/p>\n<p>We cannot increase the value of max_execution_time, as it is limited to 120 seconds on all of our shared hosting servers. However giving the current case I believe the plugin enters into a loop, which is why it exceeds the max_execution_time.<\/p>\n<p>What I could suggest here is that you re-install the plugin and try to create a local backup again. If the process fails please contact the plugins developers for more information, as they are well familiar with the plugin&#8217;s code and should be able to debug it and tell you exactly what is stopping the process. If the developers request any information from us or have any suggestions &#8211; contact us back at anytime.<\/p>\n<p>Best regards,<\/p>\n<p>Todor Pehlivanov<br \/>\nSenior Technical Support&#8221;&#8221; <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>Regards<\/p>\n<p>Alan<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-10656499","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/10656499","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/topic"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/10656499\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10656499"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
