Increase memory_limit from php.ini, then try again.

it does not change, I still have the same error

See in .user.ini file instead of php.ini file if the changes will reflect.

Post your php.ini from root folder so we can see it

This is way too much memory requirement for an OpenCart web server.
What exactly do mean by "saving a website"?
If it is just a DB backup, and your DB happens to be very large, it's better to use PHPMyAdmin for this.

Not saying it is not too much memory as I don't know the answer, but I can say that I had a similar problem as the OP and had forgotten that I'm running PHP as a CGI (set up years ago). I then had to go to my cgi-bin directory and adjust php.ini there as it overrides any other susequent php.ini files, and even my .htaccess attempt to increase the php memory (.htaccess - php_value memory_limit xxxM)

I increased my php memory to 256mb and now I can use the OC backup process - saving the step of opening the database and archiving it that way.
