 * Hello [@harlifje](https://wordpress.org/support/users/harlifje/) ,
 * Seems like your root WordPress directory is not writable.
   Our plugin couldn’t
   create directory where files from your backup would be extracted, then placed
   in proper paths due to insufficient permissions.
 * Please adjust your WordPress root directory permissions for proper directory 
   owner and group, set the permissions to 755.
 * Use chown and chmod command, you can contact your hosting provider if you’re 
   not familiar with these commands (you can also share this message with them, 
   it should be clear for technician).
 * After that, please upload the backup file manually to the destination site, and
   then run Restore. You can manage all of this from the plugin section “Manage &
   Restore Backups”.
 * Let me know if that resolves your issue 🙂
   Thank you!
