the whole thread (5 pages) is about this stuff.
you might want to read before you ask...
PS still have not got it working. figured out that the error message returns an array of possible write locations, separated by colons. Whatever I put into the 'dump to' path, the paths shown in the error message remain the same.
the array is as follows.

I don't really think these dirs are hardcoded into the php configuration, so somewhere between php input and file output, things just go wrong...
[edit]weird thing is that the adminCP backup function works like a charm. file gets written to the root nicely (mind you, the root is in the array above! perhaps it would work if the cronbackup would try to save the files to my document root?)[/edit]
