    I can't delete the backup folders. There are about 20 that have accumulated, taking up a lot of space. I'm trying to delete with FTP, and I get this error:

    COMMAND:> [10/11/2007 11:13:49 PM] DELE wordpress.sql
    [10/11/2007 11:13:49 PM] 550 Could not delete wordpress.sql: Permission denied
    ERROR:> [10/11/2007 11:13:49 PM] Requested action not taken (e.g., file or directory not found, no access).

    I disabled the plugin and updated to 0.4.1, but still can't delete the backup folders. I don't see a way to delete them through the plugin.

    Here is my php info:

    max_execution_time: 0
    max_input_time: 60
    file_uploads: 1
    upload_max_filesize: 32M
    post_max_size: 16M
    register_globals: 1
    safe_mode:
    allow_url_fopen: 1
    eaccelerator.enable:

  2. shootingboard, could you try to chmod the files (755 or 777) via your ftp client? If you have the permissions to do so, you'll be able to delete them afterwards.
    However there should not be directories left within your backup repository, BackUpWordPress deletes them after creating an archive. So your initial problem seems to be that BackUpWordPress can't create archives.
