 * Hi [@mmgh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mmgh/)
    If you exclude **WordPress
   XML export** in job setting then try to run again, is this problem gone?

 * since we haven’t heard back from you, I’m going to mark it as resolved.
    If you’re
   still having problems, feel free to let us know ;),
 * Btw, If you find BackWPUp is useful for you, we would really appreciate if you

 * I think I (wrongly) replied by e-mail.
 * Hi,
 * Yes, then the problem is gone.
    I also noticed that the backup was completed 
   in about two thirds of the time that it takes when XML export in included.
 * Actually, do I really need this XML export if the SQL database is already backed
   up?
 * Greetings,
    Marc
