 * Hi [@madebystudio8](https://wordpress.org/support/users/madebystudio8/) ,
 * There seems to be an issue with downloading the backup file, you can also test
   it out by pasting the backup link to your browser.
 * We have an alternate download method for backups, could you kindly give it a 
   spin to see if then you are able to download the backup file?
 * 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 resolves your issue 🙂
   Thank you!
