Glad you got it sorted, what did you do ?

Re timeouts in general (previous posts) - I'm pretty sure it's not a php timeout that is causing them to fail, I suspect some hosts have set timeouts on mysql queries and this is kicking in.

with me every thing going fine now

But i don't know why? Please help

databack.php is not a file related to this modification, it belongs to something else.

Works great! Is there an option to gzip the files?

Thanks nice mod

No, there are no compression options in this Lite version.

This hack is great and solves many things with some web hosting providers that gives you backup and restore by money.

Thanks :)
