Having issues:

An error occured during the MySQL backup. Details (Could not open Destination SQL file for writing.)

I've tried every possible directory combination I can think of, but no dice. I've CHMOD'd and also still had no luck. Any ideas?

Forum files are in public_html/website/. I've tried ../backups/, ../../backups/, etc. All of them to no avail.

TIA for help.

Have you actually created the backup directory you are trying to use ?

/home/yourname/backups/

create a folder same directory as public_html

Alright I got everything installed but when I click Run Now I get this error:

Code:

Backup Error : Could not write to destination file ( /public_html/forum/backup/Forum-01-25-2010-Full-Backup.sql )

I know it is not a good location for the file but I am just testing it. I also made that folder writable so I don't know what's going on.
Any suggestions?

Just out of curiosity, is it a good idea to "Lock Tables" when doing the backup?
I seem to remember we had that enabled on the old v3.x one.

It depends, it means no tables can be updated while the backup is running, which is ideal - however, it also means your forum will not function until the backup has completed.

Yes thanks Paul. I'd noticed that happen on the older version.
No biggie, as the task is in the early hours, take just a few seconds and the notice is displayed.
That's cool ;)
