I added
'dump' => [
'dump_binary_path' => 'C:\Program Files (x86)\Plesk\MySQL\bin', // only the path, so without `mysqldump` or `pg_dump`
'use_single_transaction',
'timeout' => 60 * 5, // 5 minute timeout
],

to database.php but the same issue

Is the mysqldump utility installed on the same computer where you're running php?

You must provide the full path to the program in your exec call.
