Getting and Error message that says Local was unable to import the following SQL files:

Issue Summary

I am trying to use BackWpup in WordPress to create a staging environment in Local. I’m getting stuck because I keep getting this error message when trying to import the backup zip file to Local. “Local was unable to import the following SQL files:” But no file is listed.
Does this mean the SQL files are not being duplicated into the zip file? Or is it corrupt?

Troubleshooting Questions

  • Does this happen for all sites in Local, or just one in particular?

  • Are you able to create a new, plain WordPress site in Local and access it in a Browser?

Replication

I’ve uploaded a screenshot of the error message. All I’m doing is dragging and dropping in the zip backup file.

System Details

  • Which version of Local is being used? 5.9.8+591

  • What Operating System (OS) and OS version is being used?
    Using macOS Catalina 10.15.7

Here is the local log file that shows the SQL error at the end.
