    This is another problem, I separate the thread so it won't messed up between answers.

    I'm using WP 2.3 with BackUpWordpress 0.4.1 (currently the latest).
    When I try to klik the "mail" link, which should send the backup to my email, message shows:
    "Error sending Backup by mail"

    I'm using phpmail to send all emails, including new registration passwords, comments notification, etc. All works well, but to send backup by mail, it's just fail.

    Any ide to solve this?

  2. Well, BackUpWordPress uses the /wp-includes/class-phpmailer.php built into WordPress. I'll have a look at this problem as well and let you know.

    I can only get it to email to certain addresses.

    Hello,
    I've got a similar problem. I installed the plugin few days ago and made a first full backup manually, which worked well. I wanted it to be sent to my mail address, but it fails each time I try. After having chosen "mail" and then click on "send", I got this error message:

    Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 8388608 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 4099056 bytes) in /home/blackbellow/public_html/wp-includes/class-phpmailer.php on line 1091

    After we had changed the settings, the error message changed to

    Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 16777216 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 5465409 bytes) in /home/blackbellow/public_html/wp-includes/class-phpmailer.php on line 1110

    To give you the necessary information, here the phpinfo list:

    PHP information for http://blackbellow.net

    max_execution_time: 30
    max_input_time: 60

    register_globals:

    The sql backup, which is a scheduled one, was mailed automatically. So we're a bit clueless.

    Thanks in advance for your answers.

  5. I had that issue as well. I had to go into the options and select the "email backup" box and specify a max limit. I put mine at 20MB and it works now.

    I was thinking of that yesterday, too, but it didn't help either.

  7. choose a lower backup size limit. Your server's php memory is limited to 8MB which is quite low.

  8. This helped me too.
