I use this add on a lot (thanks Dr byte)

i got an error msg. saying that my folder admin/backups does no exist, i shall set it in the configure.php

it did exist and was set to 777 and had clear reference in the configure file. it was a silly mistake of mine and there for i would like to shear it for the next zenners trying to get it right.

In the configure file (admin) when you Rename the admin file you got to change it at 3 places

#1 define('DIR_WS_ADMIN', '/admin_name/');
#2 define('DIR_WS_HTTPS_ADMIN', '/admin_name/');

and the physical file define
#3 define('DIR_FS_ADMIN', '/home/1234/public_html/admin_name/');

If you do not change the last one; nothing will be affected only your BACKUPS folder. that's why i have missed it and used the site in production for months

so when you get a error stating "Error: Backup directory does not exist. Please set this in configure.php." and you know that it does and is set to 777; make sure that the "DIR_FS_ADMIN" is set to the new name of the admin folder.
