Backup and Migrate Files is backing up the correct sub-directories in my files directory except for a series of directories names u1023, u707, etc. that are created by imagecache to hold uploads of individual users. The profile uses the default settings to exclude backup_migrate, imagecache, and css. It does back up a subdirector called editor also created by imagecache.

I can give you an account on my dev server if you have trouble re-creating the bug report. Thanks.

I havent used this module yet but am looking to use it as currently Im only doing db backups. I think the issue that could be with imagecache is that those files and or folders are owned by apache. This may stop the module from adding them to the tar file...

Permissions could be the issue as you mention, but if you're running B&M via apache (either in the UI or by running cron by remote URL) then it should have the permissions it needs to read those files.

It turns out that imagecache was creating a lot of empty directories, which Backup and Migrate Files was appropriately not backing up. All actual content appears to be backed up correctly. Thanks.
