 * After hours trying to get this plugin working I gave up, configuration issues.
   Documentation is lacking.
 * UPDATE: Hours of fiddling around and finally have it working. Again a clear set
   of installation instructions would make this a 5 star plugin. A pain to set up!

 * I get this error which seems to be commonplace
 * incorrect or unreadable the path [Backup Start Path/administrator/backups] needs
   to be created and be writeable in order for XCloner to work properly
 * I have created the folder in the root, I am also wondering what file permissions
   should you set for these folders?
 * Can’t this type of information be included in the installation? Sorry for asking
   but it would make it a little easier to install.

 * After going to the website and reading through the XCloner Configuration instructions
   I see that this folder according to the instructions is located in the plugins
   folder/xcloner/administrator/backups.
 * Assuming that is correct and I set it to writable it still errors out????

 * Argggg, finally. Got it working. I honestly believe that this could be easier
   with a decent set of installation instructions.

 * Hi trackoholic, did you get it working? What did you do to make it work if you
   don’t mind me asking?
 * Kind regards

 * Perhaps the problem was the default value 755 for permissions on administrator
   directory when we install the plugin.

 * I had had some difficulties too but this was my lack in understanding and not
   this of your great documentation. The One-Star valuation has to be assigned ot
   trackoholic.
