I accepted the suggested allowlist rule.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>I tried creating another manual backup using <strong>Method 1<\/strong>, but it failed again.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>To completely rule out Wordfence, I disabled the Wordfence plugin and tested Method 1 again. It still failed.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Then I switched Backup Migration to <strong>Method 2<\/strong>, and the manual backup completed successfully.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">I also reviewed the generated log and found something interesting.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The backup process actually starts and later reports:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<blockquote class=\"wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow\">\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>&#8220;Backup file created successfully via backup-process.php&#8221;<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">However, during Method 1 the frontend AJAX request receives a <strong>404 response containing the full HTML of the website&#8217;s 404 page<\/strong>, instead of the expected AJAX response. After that, several AJAX requests report &#8220;NetworkError&#8221;.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This makes me think that the backup itself is actually being created, but the frontend reports it as failed because one of the AJAX requests unexpectedly returns a 404 page.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Could you please check whether this is a known issue with Method 1?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Debuge code: BMI-4BSCbO48-72012<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Thank you!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-18954710","topic","type-topic","status-publish","hentry"],"jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/topic\/18954710","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\/18954710\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/wordpress.org\/support\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=18954710"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
