   please anyone can help, i am using this great BACKUP RESTORE plugin since I start using WP, it is always doing great until I use it after upgraded to 2.2.1

   Error msg:
   

   Warning: passthru() has been disabled for security reasons in /home/domains/website.com/public_html/blog/wp-content/plugins/backuprestoreAdmin.php on line 21
   Backup Successful.

   but then there's no SQL file backup at my "backup" folder on server.

   on the php file line 21, it wrote:
   

   echo passthru("mysqldump --opt -h$server -u$loginsql -p$passsql $base >$file_name");

   *the whole paragraph:
   

   switch($_GET['action']) {
    case 'backupdatabase':
   	 $datum = date('Ymd-His');
   	 $base_file_name = $base . '_' . $datum . ".sql";
   	 $file_name = $path . $base_file_name;
   	 echo '<div class="wrap">';
   	 //echo "mysqldump --opt -h$server -u$loginsql -p$passsql $base >$file_name ";
   	 echo passthru("mysqldump --opt -h$server -u$loginsql -p$passsql $base >$file_name");
   	 echo 'Backup Successful. <br/><a href="' . $siteurl . '/' . $backup_folder . $base_file_name . '">Download the new Backup Sql File</a>';
   	 echo '</div>';
   	 if ($user_level > 0) {
   		 include('backuprestoreForm.php');
   	 } else {
   		 ?>

   thats not an error with the plugin. passthru is a commonly blocked from by some hosts since allowing it's usage can lead to security issues.

   oh thx whooami for quick response, but how can i fix it?
   ask my hosting company to help?

   if so, what should i ask them to do for me?
