Backup fails with compression

Hi all,

Cron wasn't running and, through the use of SuperCron, I discovered that Backup and Migrate was the problem. After playing around, I also learned that the backup works if compression is disabled. If I try any kind of compression, I get a message that looks something like this...

ABORT: PHP cpu time limit exceeded in gzwrite() called at [/sites/all/modules/backup_migrate/includes/filters.compression.inc:105], in backup_migrate_filter_compression::_backup_migrate_gzip_encode() called at [/sites/all/modules/backup_migrate/includes/filters.compression.inc:221], in backup_migrate_filter_compression::_backup_migrate_file_compress() called at [/sites/all/modules/backup_migrate/includes/filters.compression.inc:22], in backup_migrate_filter_compression::backup() called at [/sites/all/modules/backup_migrate/includes/filters.inc:106], in backup_migrate_filters_backup() called at [/sites/all/modules/backup_migrate/backup_migrate.module:636], in backup_migrate_perform_backup() called at [/sites/all/modules/backup_migrate/backup_migrate.module:522], in backup_migrate_ui_manual_backup_perform() called at [/sites/all/modules/backup_migrate/backup_migrate.module:364], in backup_migrate_ui_manual_quick_backup_form_submit() called at [/includes/form.inc:781], ..., in call_user_func_array() called at [/includes/menu.inc:349], in menu_execute_active_handler() called at [/index.php:17]

Any ideas on how to remedy this?
