I can't get scheduled backup to work with 8.0.1 either. I configured the ftp settings. If I use Backup Now and select ftp repository it works fine. When I schedule a backup it doesn't work. I have about 25 backups scheduled. For some reason 1 or 2 of them actually work sometimes. However, it deletes all the backups that I created using Backup Now.
I get severaldifferent error messages in the backup error email.
Connection time-out
QUOT string not accepted: DELE auto_backup/rinconescape_2006.09.03_01-15-03
name lookup timed out
Sometimes the same domain will have different error messages.
If scheduled backup is working for you, I would appreciate any suggestions you have, because I can't make it work.
