OutOfMemoryError when creating large encrypted backup #1495

Any progress on this? I am unable to create backups at all currently.

Unfortunately, this is a problem of how the classes for zipping and encrypting work together and I am currently not aware of an alternative approach that would not suffer from this. So your options would be to create an unencrypted backup, or reduce the archive size by deleting heavy data like attachments that you might not need any more.

Thanks for the quick reply! I didnt realize unencryped backups would work. Perhaps you could change the error message to make that more obvious?
