 * Love the plugin, thanks for having it put the tarball in uploads if the ftp part
   doesn’t work, that was good thinking!
 * It does put it in uploads, despite the error in the first chunk.
 * Anywho, I am getting these errors when I execute the backup:

 * Thanks Irivers–
 * and what a shame about those error messages (they’ve been removed by a mod before
   I could have a look at them). Please post them – just teh first 5 lines will 
   give me an idea of where it’s going wrong.

 * It was new to me too 🙂
 * I know that error message and I *think* what’s causing it. I can reproduce it
   on my Windows machine which is good. On some servers I can’t seem to access the
   WordPress default constants to access values for database host/hoster/password
   as defined in the wp-config.php.
 * I’ll have a fiddle and will release a new version once I’ve figured it out. Watch
   this space!
