 * Hi [@beyedmonk](https://wordpress.org/support/users/beyedmonk/)
 * Seems like execution time on your server is limited to 60 seconds.
    `[INFO] [
   2022-04-17 16:26:07] Max execution time (in seconds): 60`
 * It means, restore initialization can’t take more than 60 seconds.
    Otherwise 
   it will be canceled by your web server.
 * As I can see, it checks the free space – which may take a while.
    In you case
   it definitely requires more than minute to calculate the free space.
 * The simplest solution for you would be to increase the max execution time to 
   at least 300 seconds.
 * Please let me know who’s your hosting provider.
    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 🙂
