    Default "admin" folder missing? Backup MYSQL question

    I am going to make some modifications to my cart, and I thought I would backup everything first as a precaution.

    I downloaded the Backup MYSQL plug-in, and the installation instructions refer to uploading the files contained in the "admin" folder of the plug-in to the server, making sure to maintain the folder structure.

    Hmm. I know it sounds stupid, but this is not so obvious to me.
    I checked the folder structure of the site, and there currently is no "admin" folder off the root.

    So, should I create a folder in the root called "admin", and then just upload the Backup MYSQL files to it?

    Sorry for my failure to grasp what is probably all too obvious.

    Login in to your admin section and look at the directory in your address bar... You admin directory has been more carefully secured by renaming it

    Thanks! Yeah, that was one of the first things that I did when I installed ZC - rename the admin folder.

    Not having a particularly "smart" morning...sigh...
