 * Hi [@daviddocwatson](https://wordpress.org/support/users/daviddocwatson/)
 * The issue is most likely caused by web server of your source website.
    Please
   carefully follow the steps below for each site.
 * **On the site where you made the backup:**
    1. Go to our plugin settings and 
   open “Other options” section 2. Enable alternate download method: [https://prnt.sc/1slr41w](https://prnt.sc/1slr41w)
   3. Save that section – No need to make new backup
 * **Now, go to the site where you want to restore your backup:**
    1. Open “Other
   options” section as well 2. Disable PHP CLI checking: [https://prnt.sc/1sljr31](https://prnt.sc/1sljr31)
   3. Save that section 4. Force both processes to stop: [https://prnt.sc/1trv1tm](https://prnt.sc/1trv1tm)
   5. Try to run the migration again with the same URL
 * If that won’t work, please repeat the “force both processes to stop” step.
    Once
   you do that, download your backup and try to upload it manually.
 * You can upload your backup via FTP, cPanel or our Upload Area.
 * Let me know if that solves your issue 🙂
    Thank you!
