#103 Large Database Backup Fails

[Anonymous]

I have 4 databases that I backup and 3 of them work great. My large database which is around 900 meg does not work regardless of compression or not. When I run the script (v2.1) in the web interface to manually backup, the header loads but the bottom doesn't. No errors either.

The directory is created in my export folder but no files inside. As I mentioned other db's work great, it's just this large one. I've messed with the memory limit but no luck. The page reloads very quickly so I don't think anything is timing out. Ideas??

Thanks!

If the memory limit for PHP or the PHP timeout value is to low, fails to backup large databases.
Therefore increase the memory limit and the timeout value to backup these large databases,
There are several ways to do this - please have a look into the PHP help:
