Database problems backing up and large file size

Hi

 

i have a new oscommerce 2.3.4.4 install with currently less than 10 products.

 

In the last few weeks since installing a few minor add-ons, that my database size has increased dramatically in a matter of weeks from 957,466 bytes to 34,686,689 bytes and I can not back up through admin as I get the following error

 

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 54525952 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 32 bytes) in /mounted-storage/home2/sub001/sc17958-FIWR/mysite.co.uk/backoff/backup.php on line 114

 

I am concerned that installing add-on Alternative administration system has increased the database size by adding table for ip addresses to provide who is online information.

 

I require any help on how to diagnose and decrease the database file size so I can back up in the future.

 

Thanks

That's way to large for a new shop after only a few weeks. I am not familiar with that addon but it sounds like it is at fault. You should post a question in its support thread for help with it. Maybe that is the normal operation and it won't get much larger? As far as backing up, that is a common problem. Most shared servers won't let you backup large databases, even above 5 MB can cause problems on some. You can use the servers control panel to do that though.

Thanks Jack for the advise. I have posted on the relevant add-on support thread recently so hopefully I will get a response soon..
