# [Plugin: BackWPUp] Cannot create TEMP folder

 * I moved my site to a new server, so I had to change the logs, backups and temp
   paths of BackWPUp, because they are absolute ones. The show-stopper is: the absolute
   path for the temp folder cannot be changed from the GUI – consequently no backup
   job can be made at all!
 * Is there any way to change it manually? Thanks a lot for the answer!

 * O.K., I can answer to myself:
    – delete and reinstall the plugin (it may not 
   be necessary, but who knows…) – browse the table wp_options in the database and
   change _all_ the references to the absolute path on the old server to the absolute
   path on the new server Why is it so, who knows…
