   files, but I found them and was able to change the permissions. Now the backup

 * I’m having a similar problem. See log below. The two files referred to in the
   warning…I can’t even find them in the directory.
    WARNING: File “/var/www/html/.
   Xauthority” is not readable! WARNING: File “/var/www/html/.bash_history” is not
   readable!
 * How can I “create” or get these files? I know I’m using an older version of BackWPUp
   Free, but I’m reluctant to upgrade as I’m seeing that users of 3.1.1 are having
   similar problem.
 * BTW, I just took over this website. The previous webmaster left the company 3
   months ago, and no backups have been saved since just before he left.
 * Also, I don’t understand why the log says the backup completed with warnings,
   but no files were archived. I need help please ASAP!
