Bill, the correct folder path should say administrator/backups , notice the s in the end, could you post a screenshot of your Info tab?

Sorry Ovidiu,
Sloppy of me, but the path does actually end in 's', as per this image:-

..and this is how my general tab looks:-

Thanks

The Backup Store Path should be a full path, starting in your case with C:/
Are you able to generate a backup? If so, i would advise to disregard the Temporary folder message, it might be a local php issue, make sure you are using also the latest version of XCloner from our site; otherwise i would advise to apply full writing permissions for all users on that directory, i remember the double slash issue being fixed, however the presence of it doesn't have any effect

One more thing Bill, which i took it for granted, does this directory exists C:/wamp/www/drupal-6.19/administrator/backups ? It needs to be created in your Drupal root or Server Start Path root directory before you can start a backup.
Hope it helps! Ovidiu

Bill, as Ovidiu pointed out that was my problem. XCloner does not create automatically the backup folder, so that folder needs to exist.
I also though it was a problem with the double slash, but my problem was actually that the folder did not exist

Hi Ovidiu,
No, I can't perform a backup and I think it because I have a screwy permission issue somewhere. The problem message I get is:
"Your backup directory C:/wamp/www/drupal-6.19/administrator/backups is not writeable or does not exists!"
That path does exist though: http://www.screencas.....000da97a59
I thought my permissions were OK: authenticated user can read/write all down that path to backups:
http://www.screencas.....c56f1af35b
But obviously they are not, so it must be something I just can't see right now 🙂
Many thanks for the very prompt advice. Much appreciated.

Ahh, check your administrator folder, it's misspelled 🙂 missing an "i" after "admin"

That was it! Its working fine now.
Sorry for raising something that was entirely my fault 🙂 I must learn to pay more attention to the details!
Thnaks again Ovidiu, dehcbad25.
The support in these forums for xcloner is outstanding
