Hi there,

I am working on a website and do daily backups. Today I tried to import a recent backup and get the following error message:

**The following SQL files failed to import:**

**• /app/sql/local.wp\_options.sql**

**• /app/sql/local.wp\_postmeta.sql**

**• /app/sql/local.wp\_posts.sql**

**• /app/sql/local.wp\_term\_relationships.sql**

**• /app/sql/local.wp\_term\_taxonomy.sql**

**• /app/sql/local.wp\_terms.sql**

**• /app/sql/local.wp\_usermeta.sql**

**• /app/sql/local.wp\_users.sql**

**Please double-check that the site looks correct after importing.**

I checked the website and seems to work fine and looks the way it should but because 8 SQL files failed to import I am concerned about continuing working on this site, what if in the future there will be problems because of these missing Sql files. I am using Local version 6.0.0+5444 and Mac OS Big Sur.

I still have on my computer the older version of Local by Flywheel version 3.3.0 and when I import the same backup file with it I don’t get any error message. Does that mean it imports all the files successfully or this version of Local does not display error messages of this kind ?
