Backup Never Finishes If Over 3 Minutes

[orthohin]

Hello,
I am using a backup script from RevivedWire.com. The script seems to work great and the error I am getting has to do with PHP execution time or something (I am just guessing since I know absolutely nothing). Both IE 9 and Firefox 11 get the following message after only 3 minutes of execution of the backup.

The connection was reset
The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.

I have increased the max_execution_time to 15000 but that did not seem to help.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Unless you have your own dedicated or Virtual Private Server you cannot overide the max_execution_time. This is a safety feature to stop one website consuming to much CPU & Memory resources and  crashing everybody elses on the shared hosting server.

Sounds like you will have to make the backup in smaller chunks, does the script have a Cron Job option?
