   I am getting the following error when accessing through tools:

   Backup

   WARNING: Your backup directory is NOT writable! We cannot create the backup files.
   You can try to correct this problem by using your FTP client to delete and then re-create the backup directory: D:\Hosting\3942566\html/wp-content/backup-5fae2/

   WARNING: Your backup directory is NOT writable!

   Can anyone help...thanks

   ddamron44,

   I take it this is wp-database-backup? If this is the case you need to chmod the backup folder to 777. You can do through an FTP program. Right click on the folder and set permissions to 777 by checking all the permission boxes.
