Description

I have been trying to back up my system using the backup module but continue to have SQL errors which I have yet to comprehend. I've played around with different settings (changing the directory, permissions, etc) but no success yet.

I'm trying to back up to a directory called 'backup' which is located right off of www, at WWW/backup.

The error message I receive is:

backup_files(): Command 'tar cfz /tmp/backup-htdocs-eTR3ED INSTALL.mysql.txt install.php drupal-5.7.tar.gz UPGRADE.txt MAINTAINERS.txt includes xmlrpc.php random scripts INSTALL.pgsql.txt CHANGELOG.txt files modules themes LICENSE.txt update.php INSTALL.txt sites misc profiles robots.txt cron.php php_errorlog index.php drupal-backup-db-20080715192014-297497479.sql.gz' returned value: -1
