 * Hi, I’ve had problems with WPVivid backup tool stalling at 13%, the error message
   is: (Preparing to dump table wp_itsec_logs Progress: 13%, running time: 6 min(
   s)4 second)
   WPVivid has said the issue is with Solid Security, and I need to 
   purge wp_itsec_logs, but I cannot find out how? Please advise on how I can empty
   this table, so my backups can restart. Thanks, R

 * Hi [@rockso](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rockso/), hopping in here to
   confirm on whether the suggestion from the thread linked by [@nlpro](https://wordpress.org/support/users/nlpro/)
   helped resolve the problem.
 * To clarify, Solid Security purges the logs itself based on the “Days to Keep 
   Database Logs / Days to Keep File Logs” setting in _Security > Settings > Logging
   section_.

 * Hi [@shanedelierrr](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shanedelierrr/) , Sadly
   this has not helped.
   Is there a manual way to purge the table?

 * Hi [@rockso](https://wordpress.org/support/users/rockso/), I see. You can try
   these workarounds to manually purge the logs table:
    - Manually clear the entries in the `yourprefix_itsec_logs` DB table using phpMyAdmin
    - Use this third-party log cleaner: [Log cleaner for Solid Security](https://wordpress.org/plugins/log-cleaner-for-ithemes-security/)
 * Let me know if one of these works for you!
