Hi Guys. 

I am looking to backup and then restore my blog om a new server. I run my own Wordpress blog running on Windows server 2008 R2 and i am moving to Server 2012.

I have searched but all of the solutions seem to point to people who have their wordpress hosted. 

 

Based on the fact i self host what do i need to do in order to get past the error message below?

 

Your backup directory C:/BACKUP/wordpress is not writeable or does not exists(Backup Store Path:)! 

Please note, the ./administrator/backups/ folder needs to be created and made writeable!

 

Many thanks

You need to make the Backup Store Path writeable by all users, as well as the BACKUP_START_PATH/administrator/backups/ folder
