Ok, apologies for asking this question again. but I am completely confused by the path requirements :$ ...

This is the path in my ftp program...
I have tried setting up a new folder structure - home/rascal/backups and entered that into the options for the plugin, but that didn't work either.

I'm not sure what the '.' represents in the paths...

Is that the right path for the path in the ftp screenie?

We are using a dedicated host, and have recently upgraded to 4.03...

Thanks for any help :)

The path would, I believe, be ../db_backup/

Sweet - Thanks Paul

That worked a treat - a bit annoying that I was so close, and yet so far :D

Backup completed in 62.073 secs

The FTP user setup you are using may not be able to set the 777 permissions properly and isn't telling you that with any error message. I had that problem. I went to the hosting control panel and use the file manager application there instead of trying to do it in my FTP app, and set the permissions there,
It then worked!

How do I manually run this? (To test if it's working)

Run the task in schedule manager.

as usual you never have screenshot lol
i am planing on using this mod however i am afraid if i am going to loss any data is that possible and what are the things i should be aware of

thanx again

Thanks :)

Wrong.

All my vb4 mods have screenshots where it is relevant. You cant exactly screenshot a database backup.

not that i don?t like your mod i think they are the most efficient and worth-full however most of them you don?t have screen-shot and many user may notice that
