Issue Summary
from some days I discovered to have space problems because my periodic backups (any 6 hours) done on www.forniture-alberghiere.net are not only stored into my scheduled backups folder, but they also remain wrongly into tmp folder, in full and compressed way, using about 50+10mb at any backup into tmp folder, why they stopped to disappear from tmp folder? how to make them to disappear by themself?

#1
If I do backup with gzip and zip compression manually I get this error:
Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in MYSITE/sites/all/modules/backup_migrate/backup_migrate.module on line 1116
Instead doing it without compression it go well, maybe i solve the problem saving backup without compression? but it is about 50mb, not so little..

Try increasing your php timeout. 30 seconds is not quite enough time to backup your database and compress the output. That means the process is dying before getting a chance to cleanup after itself. Version 2 of the module handles timeouts much more elegantly, but you probably still won't be able to complete your full backup with compression in under 30 seconds.
I'm marking this as fixed because the timeout issues are fixed in v2 and because ultimately you will probably need to increase the php timeout on your server anyway.

I'm on a vps so where exactly I have to put hands?
