 * Hi,
 * we have a very big issue with the activation of the “Database Backups”. We have
   changed the path of our website from /home/casantica to /home/lacasaantica. In
   the general setting we were able to change the path, with the correct: /home/
   lacasaantica/public_html/wp-content/uploads/ithemes-security/logs, but this option
   is not more available in the “Database Backups” settings.
 * This is the error the system show us:
    The directory supplied in Backup Location
   cannot be used as a valid directory. The directory /home/casantica/public_html/
   wp-content/uploads/ithemes-security/backups could not be created due to an unknown
   error. This could be due to a permissions issue.
 * Where we can find the option to change the path also for the Database Backup 
   Location? Thanks.
 * Best regards
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fdatabase-backup-location-2%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * First you need to change the **Backup Method** setting to “Save Locally Only”
   or “Save Locally and Email” in order to be able to change the **Backup Location**.
