Well now that we've gotten the sales-pitch out of the way, DreamObjects Backups will plugin your WordPress site into DreamObjects, tapping into the power of automated backups..
Post in the forum here, and I'll get to you ASAP..
Automatically backs up your site to your DreamObjects cloud on daily, weekly, or monthly schedule..
Retains number of backups at any given time ..
DreamObjects Backups connects your WordPress site to your DreamObjects cloud storage, allowing you to store backups of your content..
I have, personally, verified 250MB zip file on shared host, with no timeouts, no server thrashing, and no PHP errors, so if this is still happening, turn on debugging and check the log.
It's possible to increase your memory limit via PHP, however doing this on server means you're probably getting too big for this sort of in the first place.
WordPress kicks off cron jobs when someone visits your site, so if no one visited the site from 3am to 8am, then the job to backup wouldn't run until then..
If it gives output, then it's running, so read the log to see what the error is.
Browse the code, check out SVN repository, or subscribe to the development log by RSS...
