As for it showing up in your log at multiple times, I can not yet explain that... it has not occured for me on any of the forums I have tried this on, make sure you dont have multiple cron entries for the backup either.

As for the CHMOD problem, I will add into the script to CHMOD the file after it is saved, that should fix the problem hopefully...

I just figured it was because of the Owner of the file, I should have exclusive access to ALL files in my hoting account, But it seems with that owner id (99 for me), It just doesn't wanna extract.
I did use the xzvf and it did uncompress it, but to a separate folder due to the path I used in the config. So it's extracting, but making a new folder.

No problem though, I can always use gzip compression like you suggested.

And Gzip -d works as well to uncompress.
