I loaded the module on my hosted site, enabled it, gave Site Admin access to it. When I click the backup link, I get a report of potential activity:

I click the button and get a download dialog, but the file that gets downloaded is 0B.
I am using Drupal Version 4.7.3

You're not the first person to report problems downloading the file. :-(

This is why I stopped using this download mechanism in the Drupal 5.0 version of this module.

You will either need to upgrade your Drupal installation to 5.0 or, if that is not an option, I can supply you with a different backup program that can be used on the command line.
