backBackup Error : Could not write to destination file ( ../../backups/2011-10-08/Forum-2011-10-08-Access.sql )

I created a folder called backups and put in the forums folder and tried it in the root of the server but I stil get the above error.

Permissions were tried at 777 and 755.

Any idea what I have done wrong?

That solved the problem and it now works.

How do I know if I have any InnoDB Tables

And should I set block processing to on and what size should I select?

My forums database is about 40meg on the server and the gzip file is 10meg, does that sound right?

Thanks for a very useful mod.

You can set the folder outside the forums using the relative path. Such as "../backups/" This path works for me currently. But as mentioned if anything you will need to protect it with a htaccess user/pw to ensure its not immediately accessible from the net.
I see in your previous post you used "../../path/"
That path will go up 2 folders from the VB forums folder. The question is does your linux user have permissions to be able to write to that folder?
And yes, that zip file sounds about right for the correct size.
