Why This Happens
Backups (especially remote uploads) can be large and time-consuming. If actions run synchronously in the browser, the admin page may appear frozen or time out.
Symptoms
- Browser “spins” for a long time
- Timeout after a short server limit
- Upload completes, but UI does not update
Recommended Fixes
- Increase PHP max_execution_time (where safe)
- Increase PHP memory_limit for large archive creation
- Prefer running heavy operations via cron/queued tasks (if your version supports it)
- Use smaller test backups when validating new providers
Tip
If an action completed but the UI did not update, refresh the page and verify in the provider UI.
