 * First of all – my fault, did not see requirement for version 3.3. Error could
   not write to /tmp folder. Be aware – it crashed my blog. Trying to recover now–
   restore from backup does not work. Will try to reload 3.1 or 3.3 and not loose
   my data.

 * Actually the minimum requirement is WordPress 3.2, not WordPress 3.3. If you 
   are running a version older than 3.2, it won’t work properly.
 * You are getting this error, because your web server does not have the permission
   to write to /tmp directory which is needed to create backup files.
 * Don’t you think trying to use a plugin on a non-compatible WordPress version 
   and telling others to “be aware” is misleading 🙂

 * I started out by saying it was my fault.
 * And people should be warned that it will just not work and give an error – it
   will crash you blog.
 * Now can someone provide a possible solution, Please.

 * You need to give some details first:
 * – What do you mean by “crashed”?
    – What were you trying to do? (Change Domain
   Name, Migrate)

 * Got help on other forum page. Back up. I will upgrade to Ver 3.3 now before I
   try again.
