Doing a bit of testing this great module. D6 on wamp with latest dev.

On Quick backup:
(Backup from) Default Database (to) Manual Backups Directory (using) Default Settings.
Notice at top of page:
Default Database backed up successfully to localhostgallery.dev-2009-08-24T23-23-37 in destination Manual Backups Directory in 241.7 ms

The backup is performed as expected, but file is in the scheduled directory. Manual Directory is not created.
This not an issue for me, just reporting a possible bug.

I fixed the problem overriding the location as follows:

Manual Backups Directory -> sites/default/files/backup_migrate/manual
Scheduled Backups Directory -> sites/default/files/backup_migrate/scheduled

Trouble is, we are advised in the Update/Upgrade instructions not to put our backups in the Drupal/.... path.
I tried creating (sitename)/private/backup_and_migrate/manual (also .../scheduled and then changing the settings to match but I get messages saying

Unable to create or write to the save directory 'mtpleasantvillage.org/private/backup_and_migrate/manual'. Please check the file permissions of that directory and try again.
Could not run backup because a there was no valid destination to save to.

I can change write permissions, but what constitutes a "valid destination"? Backup to Email works fine.

Thanks.
