 * Unfortunately i get these errors. I already completely did a clean installation
   of the plugin (removed all directories etc. etc.). But it still gives me thos
   strange errors, and always 3 times in one log, one after the other.
 * Going back to the previous version of backwpup may that will work until 3.04 
   has been updated tot 3.05
    here is what the error log says:
 * [11-Mar-2013 14:23:14] 821 folders to back up.

 * Hi Caspar, i just checked it if it went okay last night anddd yes even after 
   updating to 3.0.5. what did i do to get 3.0.4. working?:
    – i unchecked allll
   the modules to be backed up. – then i checked one and tested the backup – then
   the next one – and the next one – then the back up throw up over the themes-directory(
   there were 3 in it), so i deleted two and then it backed up again, even when 
   all check boxes (of all modules) were checked.
 * and it even worked in 3.0.5.
 * Thank you very much for getting back to me on this one!!!! (rare service these
   days 🙂
 * Very kind regards,
    Ivan
