You can try to change max_execution_time in php.ini to some bigger value. But I guess better solution for very big databases is to use external mysql backup, and not rely on solutions provided by web tools like phpmyadmin or FA builtin backup service.

Hello Joe,

thanks for your reply. To be candid, I believe the files are huge because we sell retails and a lot of little transaction you need to enter. so one has to enter like about 70 to 100 records per day.

So how do I resolve this?

Thanks.

Normally the backup routine runs like a charm.
I guess we should look around. You got that when doing a backup.
Do you see any other errors in your errors.log in the /tmp folder?
Is this a huge company? Huge data?

It should work allright. Maybe you should upgrade to 2.3.3.

Hello Joe,

Thanks for your prompt response to all my questions.

I have a situation right now with backup. When I try to back up, you see the activity bar showing that the backup is being carried out but after some time, the backup is complete but the backup file cannot be found. what do I do.

I was thinking it is the max_execution_time. I increased it and it is still the same thing. there is no error whatsoever. I am using version 2.2.11.

thanks for your response.
