Hello
Every time i try to backup i get the following error:

Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, root@localhost and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error. More information about this error may be available in the server error log.

Any ideas on how to stop this as i desperately need to backup my drupal databae.
I believed it was the video module causing the problem, but have that module working properly now but still cant back up.

I checked your database of errors but can find any similar problems.

Thank you.

What does the server error log indicate? It will list the exact error - which will make it possible to address & solve.

Hello,
i get the same error with a huge Database. The SQL Backup with Backup and Migrate has a Size of 120MB. If i set "No Compression" in BM it works well. But if i set a Compression (Gzip oder Zip) i get a "500 Internal Server Error" Message.
I could not find any Errors in the PHP error.log and i don't have access to the apache logs. My hoster says it is because of the Apache RLimit.
So my Workaround for this Problem is to set "No Compression". Maybe it is helpful for some one else :)

Sounds like this is outside the module so i'm going to mark it as close.

We were able to reproduce this error. Steps to reproduce and potential resolutions.

It's indeed likely cause by Apache configuration. Not by Backup and Migrate Drupal module.
