 * Can you confirm whether it’s affecting your backups or not?

 * Are you still backing up successfully? Most people reporting the error still 
   have successful backups, so the error (which is actually a warning) doesn’t impact
   the backup process. That’s not always the case, which is why I asked.

 * No backup at all…

 * So the warnings you have indicate that the Zip file is having trouble both finding
   the assigned directory and writing to the disk (saving the backup to the server).
   Please check with your host and ensure the permissions on those directories don’t
   need to be reset. Also ask your host if they disabled any functions on the server?
 * Thanks,

 * Can you confirm whether you’re still having issues with this?
    Thanks Kat
