How to Enable Classic Mode
Navigate to the BackupBuddy Settings page.
Select the Advanced Settings / Troubleshooting tab at the top.
Scroll down to the "Technical & Server Compatibility" section.
Find the setting "Default global backup mode" and change the selected value to 'Classic'.
Save the settings at the bottom of the page.
Please note, 'Classic' mode is designed to help with manual traditional backups when the default of 'Modern' mode doesn't seem to work. 'Classic' mode will not help with schedules and/or remote sends.
