Issue Summary
My apache error log is filling up with the following errors:
client denied by server configuration: /var/www/html/cave/sites/default/files/backup_migrate/manual/test.txt
client denied by server configuration: /var/www/html/cave/sites/default/files/backup_migrate/scheduled/test.txtAny idea why or what to do about it?
Thanks!

Yes, this is backup and migrate checking those directories to make sure they're secure. Access should be denied in this case (that means your db dumps are not publicly accessible). I need to work on a way to reduce the frequency of these checks so that the module produces less log noise, but I want to make sure I'm checking often enough that server configuration changes aren't leaving people vulnerable.

Thanks for the info! Good to know what is happening behind the scenes.
Keep up the great progress on this module.

Glad to find this answer... but maybe these checks could be a user-configurable option, or you could rename that file to ignore_this_error.txt or put some text explaining that this error is normal inside of it?
