This is the out of memory message I get

Creating gzip file from SQL file

Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 5242880) (tried to allocate 206317869 bytes) in /home/xxxxx/public_html/includes/mysqlbackup.php on line 534

Forgot to add, I had the memory limit set to 500mb and it did this
so I don't know what to do

Hi

Is there a way to have the script make 2 backups each day?
How would I do that?

I have lost 2 days of my forum a while back because the backup was done a short while after my database got corrupt.
To prevent that I really would like to have 2 Backups each day.

Any chance for that?

Thanks in advance

Can someone tell me why I keep getting that out of memory message?
I still can't do regular backups because of it

No idea, there is no gzip facility in this modification.

AFAIK, you cannot run one vb cron job just twice a day - you would need to create a second cron job to run at the hour you want.

You also need to change the config file to include the hour in the file name, otherwise one backup will overwrite the other.

I know that, but how do I add the hour into the filename in the config?
I am not a php programmer ;)

Edit the backup date config line ;

The format of the letters is here.

This adds the time to the folder as well

I rather would like to have the time added to the filename only so that I have one folder per day with X numbers of backups inside it.
How would I go for that?

You cannot, there is no seperate setting for that.

But wouldn't that be possible by editing the mysqlbackup.php file?
The name is generated there, isn't it?
I don't mind having it hardcoded and not as a config setting.
