I have spoken to my webhost about increasing the memory limit, and they've told me that the maximum memory allocated to each user on the server is 50MB. They've said that if I want to export the LDM database, I will have to reduce the amount of information in the XML file. Since I'm not able to increase my memory limit, is there any alternative to how I can backup my LDM database?

A possible source of this problem is that your LDM 'downloads' table has grown very large. You can prune this manually or automatically. Visit your LDM admin page and see if there is a message of this form:

There are currently NNN records in the LDM Download 'Hits' table. You are likely to see reduced performance when using the LDM show_hit_parade setting to show overall statistics, and when analysing hits with LDM/Admin/Hits. Consider setting prune_downloads or use LDM/Admin/Hits to manually delete some of these records.

If so, follow the instructions, and you should find that the xml export works ok.
