[Plugin: BackWPup] Out of memory?

  • On a site with just this data: 

    DB Size: 6.69 MB
Files Size: 383.59 MB

    When backing up, I get this error: 

    1. try for make list of files to backup....
2012/02/24 05:05.07: [ERROR]Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 5250511 bytes)

2012/02/24 05:07.35: [ERROR] Step arborted has too many trys!

    Seriously? This math doesn’t even make sense: 

    2012/02/24 05:05.07: [ERROR]Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 5250511 bytes)

    The allowed memory size is MUCH larger than what it’s trying to allocate. So why is this process croaking?

    Thanks.

  • That is a PHP message!

    Try to split the Backup.

    By split you mean have one “job” with DB and some folders, and another job with just, say, the uploads folder?

    This may solve the problem for a while, but then what do I do when the uploads folder grows bigger? Split into many many jobs with each year’s posts?

    How else can I solve this problem. Can I increase some PHP config setting somewhere? I have root access.

    I have root access.

    If you have root access, then you may want to look for alternative ways to do backup that doesn’t rely on WordPress cron.

    Can I increase some PHP config setting somewhere?

    Yes, of course. However, it depends entirely on your server setup. *Traditionally* changing the memory value in php.ini and restarting the appropriate service would do the trick.
