 * Backs up database but nothing else 🙁 . On some of my sites I keep getting `Backup
   error on 2011-03-21 at 12:58:32: The backup process appears to have gone away.
   Resuming backup`

 * Hi
 * The memory limit is 24MB and the max_input_time is 60. I can PM you a link to
   my php info file if you wish.

 * That would be great.
 * 24MB should be enough for most files, 60 seconds is very short and is probably
   your issue. If the backup cannot create the database backup in 60 seconds it 
   will timeout and php will kill it.
 * Can you increase this value to a few minutes?
