Hello Nicolas,

From Panopticon I get the following notifications:

/bin/sh: line 1: 29570 Killed /opt/alt/php81/usr/bin/php /home/beheeromgeving/domains/sitebeheeromgeving.nl/public_html/panopticon/cli/panopticon.php task:run --loop > /dev/null 2>&1

/bin/sh: line 1: 18830 Killed /opt/alt/php81/usr/bin/php /home/beheeromgeving/domains/sitebeheeromgeving.nl/public_html/panopticon/cli/panopticon.php task:run --loop > /dev/null 2>&1

/bin/sh: line 1: 33467 Killed /opt/alt/php81/usr/bin/php /home/beheeromgeving/domains/sitebeheeromgeving.nl/public_html/panopticon/cli/panopticon.php task:run --loop > /dev/null 2>&1

My automatic backups are no longer as desired.

Also have added some log files.

Your host is killing the Panopticon CLI CRON job while it's still trying to do some work. If a backup was in progress at that time it would get abruptly stopped at the end of a step, exactly what we see on your log files. So, yes, the fact that your host kills Panopticon's CRON jobs explains why your backups are dying.

All I can tell you about it is written in https://github.com/akeeba/panopticon/wiki/CRON-Jobs Beyond that, you need to contact your host and find out what is the CPU time limit (ulimit -t) for your user, and configure Panopticon accordingly. If you have something like 30 seconds of CPU time limit you'd best use a different host for hosting your Panopticon installation; anything under 60 is not going to work very well.
