 * Hello, backups seems to be continuously failing on save. It looks like backups
   are created and then it just fails to save. I have run WP-Optimize based on one
   of the older resolved threads, but it did not help. Code that I received is: 
   BMI-gvKOd3m5-60274
 * Thanks and appreciate you looking into it.
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fbackup-failed-with-error%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)

 * Hi [@onewolf](https://wordpress.org/support/users/onewolf/)
 * It does not look like the database affects the process in any way.
   I.e. It’s 
   different issue than the one you found.
 * Your issue is most likely caused by modified PHP CLI.
   You should be able to resolve
   it by disabling the checking step.
 * Please follow these steps on the site where you experienced this error:
    1. Go to “Other options” section
    2. Disable PHP CLI checking: [https://prnt.sc/1sljr31](https://prnt.sc/1sljr31)
    3. Change backup method: [https://prnt.sc/1s1ofpa](https://prnt.sc/1s1ofpa)
    4. Save “Other options” section
    5. Force stop both processes: [https://prnt.sc/1trv1tm](https://prnt.sc/1trv1tm)
 * **Optional: **
   Open first section of the plugin named: “What will be backed up?”
   Find subsection named: “Exclude by folder / file name (case-sensitive)”Here add
   these three rules, like on image: [https://prnt.sc/9oftADPd_Z7e](https://prnt.sc/9oftADPd_Z7e)–
   Save first section once you do that
 * After that, try to run your backup once again.
 * Let me know if that worked for you 🙂
   Thank you!

 * As we didn’t hear any reply in last days.
   I can assume that you resolved the 
   issue.
 * Feel free to open new topic if I am wrong!
   Thank you 🙂
