   Searched the forums, but no luck.
   I gonna install WP 1.5, but need to make a backup of my posts.
   So i downloaded the Wp Backup/Restore plug-in for Wordpress 1.2.x.. In the instructions it says i gotta edit the "wp-admin/menu.txt" file.. However, there is only a "menu.php" file. However, in the Read Me file it is written:

   Edit wp-admin/menu.txt and find this line:
   3 users.php Users
   Add this line right after it:
   5 backupRestore.php Backup/Restore

   But there are no such line.. It's looking like this:

   $menu = array(
   array(__('Write'), 1, 'post.php'),
   array(__('Edit'), 1, 'edit.php'),
   array(__('Categories'), 3, 'categories.php'),
   array(__('Links'), 5, 'link-manager.php'),
   array(__('Users'), 3, 'users.php'),
   array(__('Options'), 6, 'options-general.php'),
   array(__('Plugins'), 8, 'plugins.php'),
   array(__('Templates'), 4, 'templates.php'),
   array(__('Upload'), get_settings('fileupload_minlevel'), 'upload.php'),
   array(__('Profile'), 0, 'profile.php')

   So what are my best choices here? (i'm a designer and not THAT technical)..

   Thanks!

   array(__('Users'), 3, 'users.php'),>put cursor here and hit return to create a blank line below.<

   Add this line in the blank space:

   array(__('Backup/Restore'), 5, 'backupRestore.php'),

   Hmm.. I get Warning: touch(): Utime failed: Permission denied in /home/******/public_html/wordpress/wp-admin/backupRestore.php on line 28

   I have set the right permissions on all files.. Including the "backup" directory...

   I was able to get it work. But when installing 1.5 (and the new version of Backup/Restore) everything seems fine (no errors) when importing back the database. But no posts what so ever actually gets imported.

   - I did run the upgrade
   - Set all persmissions correctly (777 to be on the safe side)
   - I doubled checked the preferences and directories, so everything was correct.
