 * Hi [@moe-joe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/moe-joe/), thanks for reaching
   out and providing the log!
 * Based on the logs, I’m seeing 2 things:
 * `Signal received: 15`
 * Signal 15 means that your host may have killed the backup process, apache was
   restarted in the middle of a backup, or something similar.
 * **Is this your first time trying a backup, or has it worked previously and you’re
   just now getting this?**
 * **Which hosting company do you host your website with?**
 * The second item, which may just be a warning:
 * `Undefined index: level /home/host/mywebsite.com/wp-content/plugins/s2member/
   src/includes/classes/constants.inc.php`
 * The `s2member` plugin you’re running encountered a `E_NOTICE` on line 600 of `
   src/includes/classes/constants.inc.php`.
 * If you can get back to us on the questions above, we’re more than happy to troubleshoot
   further.
 * Thanks!

 * Hi Brad,
    Thank you for your quick response on this. Here are a couple of answers
   to your questions.
 * > Is this your first time trying a backup, or has it worked previously and you’re
   > just now getting this?
 * _This is the first time doing a backup._
 * > Which hosting company do you host your website with?
 * _Dreamhost is the hosting company. I will go to support on there and see if they
   can help me._

 * Hi [@moe-joe](https://wordpress.org/support/users/moe-joe/),
 * We’ve been troubleshooting with DreamHost for a little while now. Can you review
   this article and see if it helps?
 * [https://www.boldgrid.com/support/total-upkeep/dreamhost-without-fastcgi/](https://www.boldgrid.com/support/total-upkeep/dreamhost-without-fastcgi/)
 * Basically, I’d like to see if you can try running your environment in PHP 7.3(
   without FastCGI active).
 * Thanks!

 * Hi Brad,
    Thank you again for your quick response. I did finally get it going
   tonight. I am using PHP 7.3 FastCGI and I was going to change it to without if
   it didn’t work this time, but it did work! What I did is add some values to my
   php.ini (phprc) file
 *     ```
       upload_max_filesize = 100M
       post_max_size = 105M
       max_execution_time = 500
       max_input_time = 500
       memory_limit = 500M
       ```
   
 * There was also an update on the Total Upkeep plugin today, so I am unsure what
   exactly fixed it.
 * Again I thank you for your time and the great plugin. I am so happy it works.
   
   Thanks! MJ
