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

Ok , i copied the whole link with file in my explanation but i actually used the path to the directory , not the file.

It seems that atleast " backups/ " now works since the folder " 2013-03-12 " is created.

But it stays empty and i still get :

Backup Error : Could not write to destination file ( backups/2013-03-12/Forum-2013-03-12-Access.sql )


Now , i've been reading up in this topic and found a simular problem and the answer was :

" that's a permission problem , talk to your host "

What should i ask / say to my host if this is my problem ?
