Just tried the backup module (4.7 version) on my site. When I click the button nothing happens (no download or error message) - just the "Creating the backup: Please Stand By" and then nothing no matter how long I wait.
I was expecting to possibly have a problem or two, but was hoping I'd at least get an error message so I could track it down.
Running on a fairly fast i386 box on RH Enterprise 8 and the searching for a single term takes many minutes. Long enough that most people give up and find something else to do. The search_index has something over 1.7 million rows. I suspect this has a lot to do with the problem. Can anyone suggest how to correct this situation. I've just started working on this system when the other maintainer left, so I'm not overly familar with the installation.
