    If you may also want to make sure in the DB Options of the plugin that the "Path To Backup:" correctly navigates to your backup-db folder.

    It navigates from your server root directory, so be sure to enter the right navigation otherwise you will get this error too.

    i.e. /var/www/domain.com/public_html/wp-content/backup-db

    I forgot to rename the htacces.txt to .htaccess. After doing that the notification was gone. Thanks!

    @emusicmotion: Mine dissappeared on the ftp program as well, however, I went to a file manager dashboard that my host provides that allows me to see any/all hidden files and it was still there. Once I refreshed the page, the "warning" was gone. Thanks to the creator of this plugin. Works if you follow the directions carefully. I was also missing the part about renaming to .htaccess instead of htaccess.txt.

    Hi there. In my case, I did not have to rename it. I went to my webhost panel then logged onto FTP. Clicked a folder with same name as my domain. Found a file called .htaccess. Was able to move it to wp/content/backup-db.Even if I used Filezilla, I still was able to access my files through my webhost panel. Warning disappeared. FTP server name is http://ftp.yourdomain...Hope this helps...
