    I installed the plugin and attepted to run a backup.
    First I ran both the files and database at once, then I tried just the database and both times it failed with the same on screen msg, however, I received an email saying it was backed up.

    Here is a snippet of the onscreen error:


    Your backup failed
    Here’s the response from the server:

    to solve the issue you are having you need to add define( 'HBMKP_MYSQLDUMP_PATH', false ); to your wp-config.php file.

    Then try running the backup of database only again.

    Thanks for the reply.
    I’m not a programmer, so I was wondering if you could clarify what I need to do with that string?
    Do I just copy and paste it anywhere in the wp-config.php file?

    Yep just copy the above code:

    define( 'HBMKP_MYSQLDUMP_PATH', false );

    And paste in your wp-config.php file just after the line which mentions WP_DEBUG.

    Thank you.
    I added that text to the wp-config.php file.
    Now when I try to backup “files” it works, however, I still get an error trying to backup the database.
