Not sure what else to do

Basara:
Hello.
Backup script is running into the default PHP 30-second execution timeout, which is quite common when trying to back up large stores, especially if you’re including resources and core files in the backup.

If you’re attempting a full backup (database, images, and core files), it’s actually recommended to perform this via your hosting control panel.

databit:
Thankyou for the reply, I do have a daily backup running in my Cpanel. My store is not very big. The issue has occurred from when the site was empty and cleanly setup with all my preferences.

Basara:
Hello.

Since the issue started even with a clean setup, it might be related to your hosting environment. Many shared hosting plans come with limited resources, particularly RAM or CPU, which can cause unexpected timeouts or slowdowns.

You might want to try increasing the PHP timeout in your hosting control panel (usually in the PHP settings section of cPanel).

Thanks for the reply, The issue occurs when clicking on backup/restore. I actually cant get past that to start an actual backup or choose any options to backup. The page just goes blank and seems to timeout then return after a little while and I have to log back into the admin panel. I have increase php timeouts and memory options.
