Hi there,

I could suggest trying to add the --quick argument to the mysqldump command.

This option is useful for dumping large tables. It forces mysqldump to retrieve rows for a table from the server a row at a time rather than retrieving the entire row set and buffering it in memory before writing it out:

Let me know how it goes!

Best,

Bobby

Hello @sleepingseagreenmorel

The image with the error does not appear to load correctly. Would you mind sharing the error in plain text or give it another try to upload it?
