 * Hi [@arlie2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/arlie2/)
 * For future, please after failure generate debug code, so I can see the logs of
   the process, even if it fails immediately it will contain a lot of useful details
   for me to provide you best solution, for now provided solution is my assumption.
   
   Here’s how you can generate debug code: [https://prnt.sc/lKbjrSAqQudm](https://prnt.sc/lKbjrSAqQudm)
 * Make sure our plugin is enabled on both websites at the same time.
 * Message you received in logs may appear when:
   a) Your backup is broken or incompleteb)
   URL your provided in Super-Quick Migration does not point to backup filec) Backup
   URL is protected by your hosting or some security plugin
 * Secondly, check if backup you’ve created is visible in our plugin settings – 
   backup(s) list.
   That list can display only valid backups and if it’s not there
   it may mean it’s not restorable.It can be caused by damaged files included in
   the backup, commonly from other backup plugins.
 * In any case, make new backup with these settings applied:
   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
 * Then follow these steps on the website where you created your backup:
    1. Go to “Other options” section
    2. Change backup method: [https://prnt.sc/1s1ofpa](https://prnt.sc/1s1ofpa)
    3. Disable PHP CLI checking: [https://prnt.sc/1sljr31](https://prnt.sc/1sljr31)
    4. Enable alternate download method: [https://prnt.sc/1slr41w](https://prnt.sc/1slr41w)
    5. Save “Other options” section
    6. Force stop both processes: [https://prnt.sc/1trv1tm](https://prnt.sc/1trv1tm)
 * Once backup finish, check if it’s visible on backup(s) list and copy backup URL
   from here.
 * Go to the website where you want to restore that backup:
    1. Go to “Other options” section
    2. Disable PHP CLI checking: [https://prnt.sc/1sljr31](https://prnt.sc/1sljr31)
    3. Save “Other options” section
    4. Force stop both processes: [https://prnt.sc/1trv1tm](https://prnt.sc/1trv1tm)
 * Now you can start restoration with Super-Quick Migration module once again.
 * 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!

 * 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 🙂
