 * Hi,
 * During back up I got bthis warning message.

    /hermes/bosnaweb03b/b2200/ipg.xxxxxx/xxxxxxx/wp-content/db.php” not following.
 * I didn’t have any problems before but recently I have installed a few plugins
   to improve my website performance. Could anyone tell me what does it mean and
   how to fix it?
 * Cheers

 * The file is a filesystem link and that links will be not backup. Because the 
   original file is on a othere place and will be backuped there.

 * Thanks for your reply Daniel.
    Is this something I should worry about and if 
   so how to correct that? How can I find what file is this and where it is being
   saved?
