 * Hi Paul,
    first of all thanks for this useful plugin, need some improvement but
   it works (at least in FTP mode). I have a strange behavior: I installed TM 1.9.13
   in five WP3.0.1 and two WP 2.9.2, all hosted c/o same hoster that run PHP 5.2.
   x but only one (on WP3) recognize that it’s present a PHP5, all the rest, on 
   details, show a phrase that says that as there is PHP4, can use only FTP backup.
   And FTP backup works perfectly in all installation. I can use FTP backup, so 
   no big problems but I’d like to use also Dropbox. Any idea?

 * I had same problem. The way to correct – add curl extension to your php. plugin
   checks version of php and curl function. If both of it are present on your hosting
   account – you can choose service for backup.

 * I had the same problem. With Debian I had to do install the package `php5-curl`:
 *     ```
       $ su
       # aptitude update
       # aptitude install php5-curl
       # /etc/init.d/apache2 restart
       ```
   
 * Maybe a `reload` of apache2 would have been enough but I didn’t try it.
