anyway i have the following message in pink at the top of my control panel, i did have a few others but by hook or by crook i have got rid of them, can anyone please tell me how to get rid of the last one?

The admin side and the catalog side both have a configure.php file in the includes directory.

 

You need to look at the admin one, see where it says backup is and create that direcory of the same name where the file says to put it.

 

For instance, it may say

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

 

which means admin/backups/
