 * I had sometimes http error 500 on my website (probably mainly in administration),
   i digg little bit in logs and I maybe found temporary solution.
 * From last version database backup seems to be broken. It ends with memory error.(
   I think 90MB in my case should be enough, WP normally use only about 30-40MB)
 * `Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 94371840 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate
   20480 bytes) in /hosting/www/xxx/www/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 2406`
 * and after that it’s impossible to try it again
 * `Unable to create a backup at this time since a backup is currently being created.
   If you wish to create an additional backup, please wait a few minutes before 
   trying again.`
 * I try disable ZIP of backup with no luck. I also ends with error in wp-db.php
   on line 1832.
