 * Hello.
 * I Reinstalled WordPress. I have installed BeTheme. We have our own server and
   can convert PHP. With PHP 7.4 there are no errors with UpdraftPlus. From PHP 
   8.0.30 and above there is an error updraft_send_command: error: error (). I can
   create backups but cannot restore them. Can You help me?

 * It looks like something is blocking the connection. Are you restoring form remote
   storage?
 * If you have any security plugins, it worth trying to deactivate them whilst you
   restore.
 * Otherwise contact your hosting and ask them to check if they are blocking the
   connection (it’s pretty much always this for this particular issue)
 * Alternatively, you can download the backup and then upload it to the backup/restore
   tab.

 * Thank you for your reply. We are hosters ourselves and have installed a brand
   new WordPress. As soon as we switch the fresh WordPress from PHP 7.4 to PHP 8
   with the BeTheme and UpdraftPlus, this error occurs. So it can’t have anything
   to do with remote storage. Your alternative works. That’s not the problem either.
   It would be great if it worked directly in the backend of WordPress.
   Many thanks
   for your help
