 * Hi [@jundl](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jundl/)
 * Could you please try to perform the backup using this plugin?:
    [https://wordpress.org/plugins/backup-backup/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/backup-backup/)
 * This plugin will give you detailed log of the process and hopefully we should
   be able to spot the issue, or even this issue may not appear with that one.
 * Let me know how it worked for you 🙂
    Thank you!
