When performing a database backup the Debug log is flooded with the following message:

    That is compliments of your hosting service. The database backup can run longer than the default script timer allows so Zenphoto extends the limit. Perfectly safe since the loop Zenphoto is in has a definite termination condition. But I guess your service provider "knows better" than the software so has disabled this PHP function.

    If the backup works you can ignore the messages. If the backup fails because it runs out of time you will need to complain to your host.

    Thanks for the speedy response. Will take it up with the hosting company.
