 * Hi kind folks,
 * I’ve recently discovered that the WordPress Database Backup plugin I use is no
   longer working while this plugin (v1.2.5) is activated. When I deactivate the
   WordPress SEO plugin the database backup works perfectly.
 * I did notice the following message on the SEO Plugin Dashboard, which could explain
   the connection:
 * Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 41943040 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate
   195157 bytes) in /home/deprimop/public_html/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 897
 * Being a complete noobie at this stuff, is there something that you can suggest
   I do to overcome this issue?
 * Looking forward to your replies/suggestions,
 * Chris
