Description of my issue:
I want to backup the site after updating some extensions. (local) with MAMP latest version for mac.
Before i update the Joomla core version to the newest i wanted to backup first.
I always get error when the backup have reached the map images/cache (150MB).
The Timeout issue have the settings you suggest (min execution time to 1, max execution time to 10 seconds).
Working for years with this amazing software and this is the first time i'm stuck.
The first error "Backup engine" : here i have no idea what to change here.
Working with MAMP (4.0.6) and PHP version 5.6.27.
Hope anyone could advise me what to do.
Cheers
