 * i just did the update from 2.1.11 to 2.1.12
 * found out that you shouldn’t make the backups folder within the plugin folder(
   no damage done :D, found it out while testing).
    what happened? the 2.1.12 update
   deleted the folder that i had set up in a job, and all previous test-backups 
   were lost. i should have tried what would have happened if i had run the job 
   right after the update, but it’s history now.
 * anyway, it’s great plugin if you use it in the right way
