Getting memory error while running backups

Permalink April 09, 2014 at 8:59 AM

I am getting the following error while running a backup:

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 67108864 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 34711230 bytes) in
<site root>/updates/concrete5.6.0.2/concrete/core/libraries/backup.php on line 19

Anyone have any ideas?

I forgot to mention I am running version 5.6.0.2.

I don't want to upgrade until I get a clean backup.

64M of memory is way to small. Ask your host to boost your PHP "memory_limit" to at least 128M. Even 256M if they'll let you.

Place this line of code in you htaccess file.

Worked for me
php_value memory_limit 256M
