 * Hi, I am getting this error when I try to backup:
    Cannot create folder: /home/
   g3dHcreative55/g3creative.com/g3wp55/wp-content/uploads/backwpup-492d5-logs
 * This part of the path is our old public server: /home/g3dHcreative55
    We have
   a new VPS we switched to. The settings for the job are set to the new folder 
   for our VPS but our plugin is trying to write to this old folder still.
 * I have deactivated and reactivate the plugin and deleted the job and created 
   a new one but I still get the same error. How can I fix this?

 * I figured it out. I had to go into the settings of the plugin and edit the folder
   there.
