or

/home1/backups/

but definetly something not remotely accessable from the outside of your server

I was thinking the same thing but didn't know if it was feasible. I moved the folder, it's now /home1/ID/backups/

I ran the backup and there is nothing in the folder yet. How long should I take to get everything into the folder? I don't think it's working.
