   backup my full website daily, I needed a restore yesterday backup with restore
   completely but an error showed – **“The ‘Backup Now’ button is disabled as your
   backup directory is not writable (go to the ‘Settings’ tab and find the relevant
   option).”**As per instructions going to the Settings tab and clicking on links
   won’t help anyhow. While trying to enable write permission in the wp-content 
   folder I don’t find the ‘updraft’ folder.I want to help asap to yesterday restore
   my website backup.Please help with this.
