Try using the full path to the backup file instead. Inside the AdminCP take a look at your phpinfo() it should give you the full path to your document root.

Have you tried

$_SERVER['DOCUMENT_ROOT'].'/backups';

that would be placing the backup in the backups folder directly inside whatever your html directory is.

Other than that, I don't know what to tell you, other than get safemode turned off if it is currently on.
