Perhaps that is my problem. I use dreamhost, so there is no public_html folder or anything like that.

When I log into the root of my server, I just see a folder for each of my sites. Inside each of those folders are the sites files.

So, I created my backup folder in the root, so now the root of my server looks like.

site1.com
site2.com
site3.com
site4.com
backups

Is that right?
