Hi,

is it possible to backup Fud with only 32mb of memory? As of my attempts both via the admin applet as well as the command-line my backups fail due to my hosting company's 32mb limit.

Is there a way for the script to use less memory and take more time? I'm obviously not familiar with memory allocation and so forth, so I understand this might not be possible.

Thanks.

Probably not. If you want you can try to add some unset() calls to the script to see if it would help.

This may also help to see how memory is allocated:

Something else to try: Edit "mem_limit.inc", find this line and reduce its value:

$GLOBALS['BUF_SIZE'] = 2000000;

I just realized that I don't know what to replace that value with. 2000000 would seem to me to be 2mb. Am I right? Bluehost limits its vhosts to 32mb. Would I be increasing that value to 32000000? But shouldn't I be directing fud to try to use less memory, not more?
