I mean that as is what does the " ../../ " stand for ? Normally (thinking in DOS terms) , it should be up 2 directories from forum root , but that doesn't make much sense to me because why would it do that.

Secondly , i tried removing the " ../../ " so it says " backups/2013-03-12/Forum-2013-03-12-Access.sql " wich should point to the forum root directory , correct ? (the one with diretory adminCP and so on)

Even put it on 777 , but still doesn't write ...

What you want is the path to the DIRECTORY not to a file.

Delete the "2013-03-12/Forum-2013-03-12-Access.sql " part so your entry ends in backups/ (or if that folder is from the root of where your forum is installed then all you need is "backups/").

And the permissions fopr that folder should not be 0777 (777) but rather 0755 (755).
