longtime user of wp-db 1.7, recently upgraded to 2.1.3 to cover the new wp-tables with wordpress 2.3.
the blog is hosted on a shared server (bluehost).
every time i try to make a backup tonight, it crashes (the backup screen freezes at about 60% done). the server is suspending the account for exceeding the CPU quota in the last 60 seconds.
if i wait a minute or two, the server re-establishes connection and i can see the blog again. but the backup isn't finished, so there's no useful backup made.
by the way, this is with backing up only the core tables, and nothing else. i'm asking it to download to my computer. there's already a wp-content/backup-*/ file established (from the previous version), and it's chmoded to 777.
any idea how i can get around this? do you have a slower version?
If you edit the text of wp-db-backup in a text editor like Notepad, you'll see around line 50 the following: /**
* Set MOD_EVASIVE_OVERRIDE to true
* and increase MOD_EVASIVE_DELAY
* if the backup stops prematurely.
*/
// define('MOD_EVASIVE_OVERRIDE', false);
define('MOD_EVASIVE_DELAY', '500');
Do what it says: un-comment MOD_EVASIVE_OVERRIDE and set it to true like so:
define('MOD_EVASIVE_OVERRIDE', true);
That will slow down the plugin, and you can slow it even further by increasing the MOD_EVASIVE_DELAY number.

thanks!
that worked perfectly, first try.
i didn't change the number, just set MOD_EVASIVE_OVERRIDE to true.
btw, the database is 572KB in its compressed form -- nearly two years of nearly daily posts.
thanks for your help!
