What can be the reason for this?

Thanks in advance

Have you set the backup directory full path and chmod to 777?

Have you set the path to mysqldump on the server?

Note is mysql is on an external server you can not use the backup utility since we need mysqldump access

Do not know for sure, but since all my Photopost and reviewpost installations are working properly on that server, I assume everything is fine.

Try making the contents of your adm-backup.php file this

Content visible to verified customers only.

nope, this gives me this result:

You have not copied the file right then. Your missing the opening < tag it looks like

[snoopy5]

I added the opening tag and now it works.
