Backup database failed

Permalink
When trying to backup the database before upgrading to the most current version of Concrete5 Version 5.6.x, I got the following error: "Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /home/(username)/public_html/updates/concrete5.6.3.1_updater/concrete/core/libraries/backup.php on line 122".

Why isn't the backup completing? What do I need to do to backup the database BEFORE doing this upgrade?

This is probably a php issue. php.ini needs its max_execution_time set to something longer. Depending on your hosting arrangements, you might be able to achieve this through CPanel.

Further to Mr. theFish's info, CPanel's 'Backup' section may also allow you to download (and restore) a database.
