Cron on Local (BackupBuddy-related)

Hello,

I’m trying to use BackupBuddy Development feature which pulls and pushes content from one site to another - something like staging - see here: https://ithemes.com/backupbuddy/wordpress-staging/

The local and the online site communicate with each other but I have the following error which seems to be related with the cron system on the local.

The problem is that I don’t know what to do.

Error: Error #9038: Loopback test error: cURL error 7: Failed to connect to translated.local port 443: Connection refused. URL: https://translated.local/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=itbub_http_loop_back_test&serial=636o0qdz4fohv3p. If you need to contact your web host, tell them that when PHP tries to connect back to the site at the URL https://translated.local/wp-admin/admin-ajax.php?action=itbub_http_loop_back_test&serial=636o0qdz4fohv3p via curl (or other fallback connection method built into WordPress) that it gets the error cURL error 7: Failed to connect to translated.local port 443: Connection refused. This means that WordPress’ built-in simulated cron system cannot function properly, breaking some WordPress features & subsequently some plugins. There may be a problem with the server configuration (eg local DNS problems, mod_security, etc) preventing connections from working properly.
