 * Hi,
    I have been trying to set up wp database as instructed, I’ve created the
   necessary backup folder, changed the permission to 777 yet the plugin cannot 
   locate it in my files. I’ve double checked everything, even added a new folder
   in a different location and changed the path yet I get the same error message.
   Any ideas? Thanks Tobi

 * I’ve been having the same issue – now none of my backups show in the plugin admin
   section, and I also have the .htaccess warning as well, though I can see the .
   htaccess file, placed in the correct folder, in my ftp client. It’s strange, 
   because there was an element in the path to the backup folder the plugin was 
   reading wrong – “bosoraweb” instead of “bosweb” – I correctged that by entering
   it in DB OPtions, and the new path shows in the warning message, but the plugin
   still can’t backup my database or find any of the existing backups. The last 
   successful backup was in mid-Feb 2012 and Things are starting to get really weird!
   Please help! I love this plugin and don’t want to switch ot another one, but 
   I’ll have to if we can’t get this resolved – it’s a big blog with a lot of art
   images in it, and as it grows I need great DB management like this plugin used
   to offer more and more! Thanks for a great plugin and for the assist I know you’ll
   give us, Lester! I know you’re a busy man, but surely this won’t be too much 
   for you to do…
