 * Hi,
 * Hoping someone can help me here. I’m trying to backup my site to move over to
   a new server but I’m getting these errors. I’ve tried manually changing their
   permissions in FTP but they get overridden. These paths do exsist.
 * Any ideas?
 * Fail [/HP3-WINC1-SMB1.HOSTINGP3.LOCAL/DOMAINSX/736/2220736/user/htdocs/wp-content/
   backups-dup-lite]
    Fail [/HP3-WINC1-SMB1.HOSTINGP3.LOCAL/DOMAINSX/736/2220736/
   user/htdocs/wp-content/backups-dup-lite/tmp] Pass [//HP3-WINC1-SMB1.HOSTINGP3.
   LOCAL/DOMAINSX/736/2220736/user/htdocs] If Duplicator does not have enough permissions
   then you will need to manually create the paths above.
