Creating a backup folder

I have created a backup folder according to the instructions admin-backups (permission 777) but I get a warning sign saying that the backup file doesn't exist and I need to define it in configure.php. What does this mean?

If you have created a folder called 'backups' inside the admin folder and set the permissions correctly then it means that the pathways in your admin/includes/configure.php file are not correct.

So how do I fix that?

I too, am having the same problem. I checked the path to the 'backups' folder and it is correct, but I'm still getting an error message - Error: Backup directory does not exist. Please set this in configure.php.

Hi, your problem is most likely very simple. You must remember that the directories are case sensitive. If you create a fold /admin/Backups/, this will not work because under your config file, it's looking for "/backups/". Notice the B and b. Something as simple as that will give you a run around. If that's the case, just edit the directory you created under admin from "Backups" to "backups". That should fix your problem. :thumbsup:
