I only have one question, isn't setting the permissions to 777 just asking for your database to be accessible to anyone especially if you have your backup folder called something obvious like "backupfolder" or similar?

Update:
I changed my backup folder name to something not guessable, but also changed my permissions to 733, ran the backup and it worked fine. After changing the permissions I navigated to forum/*backupfile name* and got a 403 error (which is fine) but the backup is on the server.

AFAIK you can change permission backup name to 644
