 * Hi,
 * I installed your plugin and attempted to run a manual backup of the entire site.
   However, part way through I received the following message in the logs:
 * WARNING: opendir(/,/): Access is denied. (code: 5)
    WARNING: opendir(/): failed
   to open dir: No such file or directory
 * The backup continues and finishes but I’m not sure if the backup was actually
   successful (or at least something I could restore from). Thanks for any help 
   you can provide
