 * If you are seeing this php error in your WP Dashboard then that means either 
   WP_DEBUG set to true in your wp-config.php file or you are using some other method
   of debugging. When you are done debugging be sure to set WP_DEBUG to false in
   your wp-config.php file or turn off whatever other debugging method you are using.
 * Most likely the php error is being caused because your database backup folder
   either does not exist or there is a file owner problem with your database backup
   folder. Try these steps and let me know if that fixes the actual problem. Note:
   You may still see php errors for the stat() function until you turn off debugging.
 * Go to the DB Backup page.
    Click the Create Backup Jobs accordion tab/button.
   Click the Rename|Create|Reset button.
