Rod - from the error message it looks like a permissions issue. If the account has write persmissions to the directory, it should work even though it isn't in the portal root. Compare persmissions on a folder in the root hierarchy and the one you want to use.

As far as saving within the root - you can set permissions on folders so that they aren't accessible. Or for your backup files, take a strategy from the 'secure folder' DNN approach and save all files with an extension of .resx. Just a thought. I'd get the permissions outside of portal root set as a preferred method.

Hi Rodney,

In the current version, “Backup folder name” (Portal Contents Backup Option), should be relative to web root (it will be created if necessary). e.g.: “backup”.

An absolute folder is not supported.

In addition, this setting is taken into account only when is configured a remote folder for the database backup (otherwise, just the “relative” configured database backup folder is used to hold both database and portal files backup.

This is odd and annoying, I know…

We’ll release soon a new version with a better implementation for this (among other changes). The development is a bit delayed but will be done.

Please do not hesitate to contact us if you have any comments or questions.

Thanks,
Horacio Judeikin
