After I update to Backup and Migrate 1.0, the backup shedule is locked,
and by cron run, it does not perform a backup anymore...

would be very happy to get some advice, how to make it working again...

Check the main backup and migrate page for errors. The module will not allow you to run backups if it cannot adequately secure the backup destination.

I have to set the files folders all to the permission 777, feels strange, but don't know if this is right...

If I set it to 755, allways the error message comes that the file system folders are not writable...

Due I just started to learn how to work with Drupal, I also got not much glue what is right and what is wrong...

my project site: http://www.to-be-sharing.org

hope you can suggest me what I have to do...

thanks in advance

I assume then that there are no messages or errors on the main backup and migrate page when you have files permissions set to 777?

Are you having issues with manual backups or just with the scheduled backups?

the manual backups are working fine, also the restoring works nicely, but there is no possibility anymore, to choose if I want to download or to safe to the server...

only download is available there is no checkbox for saving on the server anymore as it was before...

Sounds like the module is not allowing you to save to the server. It does this when it cannot write to the backup directory OR it can write to the directory, but that directory's contents are not protected from public viewing.

It should be warning you with an message at the top of the main tab if either of these things is wrong. Are you sure there is no message or warning on that page telling you what is going on?

no, there is absolutely no message, not in the logs, not in any of the tabs of Backup and Migrate...

Only the download destination is available...

I will try to change the public view options on the cPanel...

hope it works then...

the folder is not publicly fiewable anymore, but the server destination did not become available again...

That's strange, thanks for investigating this. I'll check my code that should be putting up the warning and post a new version if I figure out why it isn't at least telling you why it won't let you save to the server.

thanks for your patience.

Try the lates 5.x-1.x-dev and let me know if you're still experiencing the issue. I discovered an issue where the module would disallow saving to disk if the required test file existed but could not be written to. This happens when you copy the backup destination as a user who is not the web server.
