Well, in your admin/includes/configure.php file, you should have this line:

 

define('DIR_FS_BACKUP', DIR_FS_ADMIN . 'backups/');

 

 

And then on the server side of things, in your admin folder, there should be a folder entitled "backups". So go to your FTP tool, or whatever, and check out your server. Open the admin folder, and you should see a "backups" folder/directory. If it's not there, make one.

 

Good luck.

Im pretty sure the "backups" folder has to be set to CHMOD 777

 

I also noticed your directory error says backup does not exist, but your folder is entiled backups i.e. plural make sure your configure file says backups not backup

 

define('DIR_FS_BACKUP', DIR_FS_ADMIN . 'backups/');

I totally give up I told everyone that my admin/includes/configure.php is set currectly and there is backups/folder directory on my server and it is set on 777 and I still get the error or I may go with someone else.

I've had a directory show as 777 in my FTP client and this problem persisted - when going to the directory through the host control panel, the permissions were in fact 644 - I reset them and all was sweet :)
