 * Hello,
 * Just installed this and configured but get this error with ontime backup:
 * Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate
   34875 bytes) in /home/mysite/public_html/mysite/wp-content/plugins/wp-google-
   drive/class/zip-class.php on line 28

 * Ditto
    Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 536870912 bytes exhausted (tried to
   allocate 427200 bytes) in /home/gaygames/public_html/wp/wp-content/plugins/wp-
   google-drive/class/zip-class.php on line 28
 * I can’t see anything on line 28 of that file to set a memory limit.
 * I found this tip
    [http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/777/solve-php-fatal-error-allowed-memory-size-of-8388608-bytes-exhausted-tried/](http://www.tech-recipes.com/rx/777/solve-php-fatal-error-allowed-memory-size-of-8388608-bytes-exhausted-tried/)
 * So I added this to the front of the zip-class file
    ini_set(“memory_limit”,”600M”);
 * Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 536870912 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate
   427200 bytes) in /home/gaygames/public_html/wp/wp-content/plugins/wp-google-drive/
   class/zip-class.php on line 55
 * Again there’s nothing on line 55 that I can see to set a limit.
 * However, I would note the following from the tip link above:
    “Keep in mind that
   a huge memory limit is a poor substitute for good coding. A poorly written script
   may inefficiently squander memory which can cause severe problems for frequently
   executed scripts. However, some applications are run infrequently and require
   lots of memory like importing and processing a large data file.”
 * There is a Plugin, Backup WordPress, which does work in low memory systems but
   unfortunately it only backs up to the same folder where WordPress is installed
   on the server.
 * It might be worth looking at the code of Backup WordPress to see how they do 
   it.
 * Meanwhile, I’ll look for another solution.
