<h2><aname="#10.igbinary"></a>IGBinary for courses backups and better sessions management</h2>
<p>
<ahref="http://pecl.php.net/package/igbinary">IGBinary</a> is a small PECL library that replaces the PHP serializer. It uses less space (so less memory for serialized objects) and is particularly efficient with memory-based storages (like Memcached). Use it for course backups (see <ahref="https://support.chamilo.org/issues/4443">issue 4443</a>) or <ahref="http://www.neanderthal-technology.com/2011/11/ubuntu-10-install-php-memcached-with-igbinary-support/">to boost sessions management</a>.
