If you move host/reinstall plugin it will not work anymore. (automatic bacukp)
But you still can run it manually by clicking "Run Now".

how do i shut down openbasedir? i turned of safemode but i cant fin openbasedir in the php.ini file

it should be in your httpd.conf

My point is, the backups are not working thru ftp either. There is no point in backing up on the same server for obvious reasons.

Sorry, but your words suggested you were "fine" - hence my post.
More bad news for you as well - if you check the new feature at the top, you will see ;
So I don't think you will get an answer anytime soon. :(

Great mod! Just installed and it works great. :)

Noobed out hard. Can someone explain to me what I put here?

examples;

HOST = 'localhost' (default)
USER = 'root' (default)
PASS = ' ' (default)
DB = 'forums' (default)
-----------------------------------------------------------
*/

$backup['HOST'] = 'localhost';
$backup['USER'] = 'root';
$backup['PASS'] = '';
$backup['DB'] = 'forums';




My forums are located at http://www.realopinion.com/realboards/

$backup['HOST'] = 'localhost';// your ip address that your forums are on, most times 'localhost' is sufficient
$backup['USER'] = 'root';// put the username attached to the database your forums are on
$backup['PASS'] = '';//put the password that belongs to that username attached to your database that your forums are on
$backup['DB'] = 'forums';// name of the database your forums are on
