Same problem here. But I’m still running the older wp 2.9.2.
The problem does not exist in backwpup 0.8.1, but it does in 1.0.x
And I use PHP: mail()

Yepp, It does not work anymore. Only manual backup is working.
There is also an older bug about changing the backup date/time still present.
Updates and bugfixing of this product seem to have stopped half a year ago…?
That is a pity, because it has been doing a good job until summer 2009.

Anyone has a proposal of an alternative plugin?

The same happens for me!

This posting helped me as well ??

I was using an older template. After upgrading from V2.0.11 to 2.6.2 the comments did not looked as the should. It seemed like wp used another comments.php than the one located in the template folder after the upgrade!

I was forced to use:
<?php comments_template('/comments.php'); ?>
in my single.php and page.php.

Why was not the correct comments.php called by:
<?php comments_template(); ?> ?

Found the problem!
It was an enabled “HotLink Protection” on the webserver that caused it.
Disabled it and everything works again!
