Excellent Mod - just installed - couple of quick questions...

Is it recommended I turn off boards to do a backup? I just did a "Run Now" in the scheduled Task Manager and it backed up my entire forum in about 30 seconds at 40MB (so it is not that large)

Will it overwrite the previous backup or will I have to routinely ftp in and delete the old files?

Currently I am saving backups in public_html/backups with path being ../backups/

I understand it is not wise to have in acceptible location where accessible by public so where should I save to and what would the path to that section be?

I was going to protect the directory with ausername and password but I am assuming that if I do that it will not only prevent unwanted people from accessing but it will also prevent the mod from saving the backup file to that location.... true?

any help would be appreciated
