Just recently, I have start to get the following error message appear near the footer of my pages

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 16123082 bytes) in /home/billboar/public_html/bcf/sites/all/modules/backup_migrate/includes/destinations.email.inc on line 120

I have regular scheduled backups but have not encountered this problem before - it has only just started happening.

Moreover I do not need to be logged in to see the error mesages, they are very public!

Issue summary: View changes

This module tries to be as memory-friendly as possible, but some operations (such as emailing a backup) require the whole backup to be read into memory. Your backup file is simply too large. Try using NodeSquirrel for offsite backups. It is more reliable, waaaaay more secure and more memory friendly than emailing backup files.
