Moodle v2.2.1
I'm attempting to make a manual backup of a course containing many many URL links. The backup fails at the Schema settings page without an error message; the page is just blank.
At a rough guess, we're talking about 450+ URL links in the course. I'm guessing that we're running up against some sort of timeout or link/resource list maximum. Just to be clear, these are URL links to off-course, off-server resources which are not present within the course.
(A little later.) Ah yes, it's a timeout error. With debugging set to Minimal, the php.log is telling me: PHP Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in (path trimmed)/moodle/lib/pear/HTML/QuickForm/static.php on line 164
A restore of the automated backup of this same course fails with "error/tmp_bcakup_directory_not_found". When I attempt to unpack the backup archive, I'm told that the zip file is corrupted. I'm suspecting this is part of the same issue.
I need some advice on what settings need to be adjusted to a) allow the automated backup process to run successfully, and b) will allow me to create an on-demand manual backup.
