You seem to be using Windows. Make sure the path to the mysqldump utility is correct (in config.php):
That's the default and, obviously, that's a path for a Unix/Linux system.
bye, Dirk
Text Formatted Code
$_DB_mysqldump_path = '/usr/bin/mysqldump'; // path to mysqldump binary

Thanks Dirk for your super fast response.
In fact, my entire website is hosted on a windows 2000 server. I am not sure that I know what is the absolute path to get to that binary file. Well I guess I won\'t back it up...

Ask your host. They should be able to give the path.
