# Problems with backup directory settings

 * When configuring my backup jobs, I select the “Backup to directory” option and
   then change the path of the directory under “Destination: Folder”, followed by
   a save operation. However, it turns out that the directory I specified is automatically
   replaced by the default directory “uploads/backwpup-6f7d60-backups/”. I wonder
   if this customisation is no longer possible in the free version of the programme?
   Interestingly, this setting still works perfectly on another website that I maintain.

 * Hi [@dennis79](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dennis79/)
 * could you please try to completely uninstall the plugin then install it again,
   then after that, try to change the backup directory?
 * Thank you so much!

   then!
