great thanks for all your excellent help.
yes that sounds right. So I guess I should I disable Wordfence before doing any backup? Wordfence also throws up a critical issue which i assume I should just disgard? ‘File appears to be malicious or unsafe: wp-content/backup-migration-QOSlkb1D53/backups/latest_progress.log’
Yes that worked thank you so why did i need to do that?
Also, what can I safely delete from the backup folder to logs and so on? Is there anything in. there that I need to keep?
Thanks, darren.
