Setup:
latest code from 7.x branch
PHP 5.3.18 without PEAR installed
I grabbed the PEAR.php, PEAR5.php and Tar.php as instructed in Backup Migrate Files module.

Attempting to download a backup of public files directory results in "PEAR is not installed correctly. See the README.txt file in the backup_migrate_files module directory for help". Turns out the include path in sources.filesource.inc was not complete. Attached patch fixed the issue for me.

There should be no need to install anything in Drupal 7 as it now comes with a working copy of Archive_Tar. I've pushed a fix which no longer checks for the PEAR library.
