as he already wrote before, he had no luck with set_time_limit.
One option could be, that he makes his backup on one table, then makes a
redirect with a variable, which table comes next and so on.
This will only work, if there is no table to big for the time limit!
I have not done this, but it could work. After backing up all tables,
zip them all into one file. This could work, as the time consuming work
for backing up from mysql is already done.
You can find several classes for zip at php-classes.org eg
http://www.phpclasses.org/browse/package/2322.html and others!
All this is untested, but the idea should work!
