Every time I try to use the Backup Database Feature under Forum Maintenance I get the following error.

Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.

Please contact the server administrator, [email protected] and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.

More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.


Here is my PHP info;

How large is your database? If it is very large you would likely be better of doing a backup with your hosting control panel's options.

The entire site itself is only about 70 megs so I imagine the database is probably around 65 megs.  How would this effect my ability to use a built in feature?

The larger the database the longer it will take to wrap it up and make it so that you can download it. This will make it time out potentially. Try it without GZIPing it perhaps or, if need be, do it via your hosting control panel. 65 MB isn't that large but it is still pretty good sized.
