I installed Craft CMS 3.0.1 locally on MAMP (Apache/PHP7.0.22), but when I want to do a backup of the database it says: "There was a problem backing up your database. Please check the Craft logs. Back-up van database". I cound not find any logs that pin pointed the problem. How does this happen? Thanks in advance.

I have just run into a similar problem.
I'm not sure if this is what fixed it but try creating an Envvars file as per jonlivingstone's comment here https://github.com/craftcms/cms/issues/2364
Once I had done that my backup ran. I then had to switch MAMP out of FastCGI mode otherwise I got a 500 error at the end of the update process.

The Envvars file fixed it for me too once I also ran the following command in terminal: sudo ln -s /Applications/MAMP/Library/bin/mysqldump /usr/local/bin/mysqldump as per github.com/craftcms/cms/issues/1369#issuecomment-279102527 See craftcms.stackexchange.com/questions/23290/… for similar issue with explanation of Craft 3 backup differences– JanineCommented May 3, 2018 at 16:46
