JoomlaPlug!

Hi Ovidiu,

I am trying to do a full manual backup of everything - files and database on my host site. However I get the error message:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 47552 bytes) in administrator/components/com_cloner/cloner.functions.php on line 1281

I presume this is too big - hence the memory problem. How best to do this then please ? Perhaps I can do a simple back up of the server files to another location and then just use joomlacloner for the database files ? Grateful for your advice please.

Kind regards

Hi there! To fix this issue you will need to increase the site php.ini memory_limit variable to a larger value than the current 8M, try 32M for instance

Also, i presume you are using the latest version of the JoomlaCloner software?

Regards, Ovidiu

Many thanks.

I am using Version 1.9.2 which I think is the latest ?

Kind regards

Sorry - just one more question as my host says upgrading the memory limit is not possible on the package I am on - how about the idea of just backing up the database with joomlacloner and then copying the server files to my computer as a backup. That would still work OK ?

Sure, to generate a database only backup you simply need to exclude all files and folders from your Joomla root directory

Hope it helps! Ovidiu
