I just installed Backup and Migrate and I have assigned proper permissions.

I am able to create a one-off backup of the database, but would really like to set it to be automatic. On the Schedule page (admin/content/backup_migrate/schedule) there is a "Backup every" and a "Number of backup files to keep" field. Both have the value of 0. Both fields are disabled. Why is this?

Thanks!

That's weird. There's nothing in the code that should be disabling those fields. Are you sure you're using the 2.x branch? If I recall correctly, the 1.x branch disables schedules when the scheduled directory is unwritable. If you are in fact using a 1.x version of the module, you should check the permissions on the scheduled backup directory (which is in backup_migrate/scheduled in your filed directory).

I am using 1.2 --- sorry for the wrong version.

Not only did I have to set the permissions to 777, I had to create the backup_migrate/scheduled directory.
