Many sites need to perform backup operations so they can have additional copies of the information and files they need to work correctly.

Taking a backup of data of a site may take a long time, especially when there is a lot of files and data to copy.

When the process takes too long, it may be impossible to complete the whole process during a single run of a PHP script because in many hosting environments a script may only run for a limited length of time and using a limited amount or memory.

This package implements an approach that works around this limitation of running long time PHP scripts. It uses session variables to keep track of the backup progress and output data contents.

Then it redirects the user browser to the same script, so it can resume where the process was suspended as many times as necessary.

Read this article to learn more details about how this notable PHP package works.
