It looks like we're having the same problem.
We are trying to get the backups on Moodle 2.4 to backup to a remote folder without success. We have enabled this setting under
Home>Site administration>Courses>Backups>Automated backup setup and made the Save to location as E:\MoodleBackups.(same server as Moodle 2 running on IIS)
We get a green tick next to this path on the backup configuration page.
When the Cron job is run manually, the backup process runs successfully, and the backups appear in the course's backup area, but the backup files do not appear in our MoodleBackups folder. Any ideas on what to check etc. are most welcome.
Heather, did you get anywhere with this?
