Hi, I'm trying to restore a Hostgator WordPress in a different folder in the same hosting account. I installed Akeeba backup pro on the live site a few days ago and made a fresh backup. The Kickstart extraction into the new folder works, but the ANGIE process gets stuck at "Initialising The restoration script is getting ready." It just spins on that page indefinitely. I left it going overnight last night. Is there something I can do to skip past this hangup? Thanks!

Please download and install the following dev release: https://www.akeeba.com/download/backupwp-dev/9-0-4-dev202504140819-rev4f6d3dff.html 

Take a new backup.

Try restoring the new backup.

Please let us know if this worked for you.
