Backup cPanel with PHP and upload to another FTP

Question

I have a php script to backup automatically cPanel and upload the .tar.gz concurrently to an FTP server.

The script works fine.

The script requests the file then starts the ftp transfer and when the upload is complete it send also a confirmation email.

The only problem is that even if the backup is, for example, of 1GB the uploaded file is only of 170mb.

It seems it's not able to upload large files. Infact with a small backup (for example 16mb or 20mb) it's all working fine.

Answer 1

This is probably due to php.ini settings

For instance max_execution_time needs to be high enough to upload such a large file. Im not sure if any other ini directives are pertinent .
