I’d like to report success! I ended up reducing the zip file size to 50 MB and it worked, in only 1.5 hours.

I forgot to add – I did also install the UpdraftPlus update today so it is current.

Continuing to work this issue, I read the great resource from bcrodua (@bcrodua) – thanks. I have Updraft Plus, not Premium (yet). Still I’m not understanding why it worked so well with daily backups for over a year and now I have issues.
I have checked my zip file sizes for prior backups that I have retained. Typically plug-ins are ~72Mb, themes are ~7Mb. The Uploads is an issue, 384Mb. I am unfamiliar with determining why this is huge.
I have verified PHP is 7.4.10, I’m on WP 5.8.
Today I disabled 2 plug-ins that I don’t need daily. Attempted another manual backup, and it is still not successful.
Could use additional assistance in helping me find my cause. I’d like to have a successful full backup before I start excluding things in a future backup.

Are you suggesting I remove plug-ins and do manual backups just to see which is causing the issue? I hadn’t thought of trying that yet…

Final update – WPMU DEV was able to resolve this by creating a MU Plugin for us. I verified it works this morning.

This issue is definitely not resolved. We upgraded to Forminator Pro and paid money to join wpmudev in order to get a positive resolution.

Forminator still does not work with PayPal as of March 18, 2021. We are now 3.5 months into this issue.

If wpmudev cannot resolve the issue by the end of our first paid month, I will be replacing Forminator permanently with another solution, and will also knock wpmudev off my list of reputable resources.

Payment status for the entries beginning in January all show “APPROVED” with a unique transaction code referenced. All prior and successful entries show “Success”.
