You're not understanding the limitations of PHP.
PHP, as set up on most servers, simply stops executing after 30 seconds or less. That is not enough time to perform a full backup of the busier web forums. Also, you would have to create a directory in your forums that is 'world writeable' (0777).
I'm still hopeful that some day, vB might consider writing an advanced backup tool which backs up the tables in groups to separate SQL files and tests each file to see if it matches the estimated file size. Maybe I should write something like this.
