Notifications Backup Email

We are having a similar problem. I’m not sure if it’s from people visiting the page, but I have gotten at least a hundred email notifications of a backup.

We have wordpress installed in a subdirectory as well.

I am getting the same error message that javicorper received in the link above when I try to create a manual backup:

The directory supplied in Backup Location cannot be used as a valid directory. The directory /public_html/blog/wp-content/uploads/ithemes-security/backups could not be created due to an unknown error. This could be due to a permissions issue.

I also cannot save settings changes due to the above error.
