Good day,

I'm having a problem with backing up a large course in Moodle 2.2.6+ (Build: 20121116) on this hosting environment:

IIS 7.5 with PHP 5.3.6
SQL 2008 R2 (FreeTDS driver found on Moodle's site)

After starting the course backup (all backup settings kept as default), the browser will display a blank screen after about 1 hour. I did one time receive an error message:

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 3600 seconds exceeded in C:\iismoodle\moodle\backup\util\xml\xml_writer_class.php on line 144
I am not sure which maximum execution time value is being referred to here, as the phpinfo page shows:

max_execution_time 30000 (local and master values)

I've also configured a high timeout value for FastCGI, but the problem remains. Does anyone know where I can change the timeout value of 3600 seconds, as it does not seem to be a PHP or FastCGI timeout?

Thanks,
John Grobler
