"WARNING: Your backup directory is NOT writable! We can not create the backup directory.
/home/fulwood/public_html/wp/"
What should the permissions be on the backup directory? I have no idea. I wonder whether I may have broken something in upgrading from WP 2.0.7 as the backups worked fine with that.
In earlier versions, the backup directory was wp-content/backup/, but that was changed to wp-content/backup-["random" letters]/ for security reasons.
One solution is to make your wp-content directory writable--temporarily--by changing the permission to 777. Then let the plugin create your backup directory, make sure it's writable, then change back the wp-content permissions so that it's no longer writable.
All permissions for wp-content, wp-content/backup (made by me) and wp-content/backup-8f3c0 (made by the plugin) are set to 777, but I still get a 'check permissions' error (it's in Dutch actually, so is my WordPress).
Dude it won\'t work.
wp-content 777, it will create any folder I define in de plugin\'s php on 777
like: backup-xxx71 (on 777)
But it won\'t write anything in it. I get the error menitioned above.
I use WP 2.1.1
I once played around and made it work somehow. I didn\'t touch the files and permissions since then and thought it would work again - doesn\'t.
Btw: very good and usefull plugin. thnx for your efforts.
Try deleting the directory backup-xxx71 with your FTP client and replacing it with one of the same name (this is one way of changing the ownership instead of the permissions).

Thanks in advance.

Try changing this line
define('WP_BACKUP_DIR', 'wp-content/backup-' . $rand);to this
define('WP_BACKUP_DIR', 'wp-content/backup');to see if it will use your old directory.

Still won't work for me. :-/
Is it possible that it's something server side?
Because I have two other WP sites and this works perfectly for both of those.
