Answer 1

It seem the backup script is unable to find the directory where the site files are stored.

Quoting from the tutorial you followed to do the backup:

// User home directory (absolute)
$homedir = trim(shell_exec("cd ~ && pwd"))."/"; // If this doesn't work, you can provide the full path yourself
// Site directory (relative)
$sitedir = "www/";

First ensure that $sitedir is set properly with the relative path (from the home directory) to the site files directory.

It could be something different than www/, for example public_html/ for a website hosted on GoDaddy.

If the above is correct try to set $home variable manually with the absolute path of the home directory.

Update

$homedir is the home directory and $sitedir is the website root relative to $homedir

so looking at the code you posted it's quite likely there is a mistake, the two variable should be:

// User home directory (absolute)
$homedir = "/home/mhmd2991/"; // <-- FIXED HERE
// Site directory (relative)
$sitedir = "public_html/";

This assumes your website root directory is public_html and is located inside your home directory mhmd2991

Again make sure your website root directory is actually public_html and not www or html or anything else. Check it out using the terminal.
