Can you suggest what I should do to resolve the issue then? Is there a way to find out if php is running in safe mode?

yes I am. Here it is: [24-Oct-2012 18:02:02 UTC] PHP Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 18251730 bytes) in /home/mysite/public_html/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-backup-to-dropbox/Dropbox_API/src/Dropbox/API.php on line 293

I have the ZipArchive loaded and have a php.ini in the root setting the mem to 250mb, I have gone into /public_html/wp-content/plugins/wordpress-backup-to-dropbox/wp-backup-to-dropbox.php and set the following define(‘BACKUP_TO_DROPBOX_MEMORY_LIMIT’, 2250);, and still can not get the backup to work. If I undo the zip in zip settings everything backs up with no problem. Any ideas????
