the component will prevent the 500 error if you use the cron script to generate backups! If your provider sets the limit of the max_execution_time the script will get you an error as any other php script that needs time to do it's process!

Hope it asnwered your question fabs

Hi there! The owner and group problem are fixed in the new version by adding the ftp mode!

So when installing the software you may choose between direct mode and ftp mode install!
The direct mode will cause the permission problem on some servers, but the ftp mode runs ok because the script simulates the install by using the ftp functions, keeping the owner and group permissions!
