Database won't backup

Permalink
When I try to Run Backup from "Backup Database" panel I get this error:
Fatal error: Exception thrown without a stack frame in Unknown on line 0

Any idea why this would happen?

Thanks for your help.

A database can grow too big for the built in backup to work reliably in the server time/resources available for a web request.

First, check your database for tables that are 1000+ entries long (just to make sure the assumption above is correct). You can use phpMyAdmin or within concrete 5 use

Thanks Johnthefish,

I went ahead and backed it up using phpmyadmin, which I had done before I just didn't know why I couldn't backup in concrete5. Since I have quite a view tables over 1000 entries long I'll have to keep using phpmyadmin for backups since I'm not confident enough to delete the statistics page.

Thanks for sending the info it helped me know I'm backing up correctly.
