Just installed vBulletin and noticed this warning in one of the admincp settings:
"Warning: The file path specified here will save the backup within the web root, meaning that anybody can download it. We recommend that you specify a more secure location to store your backup."
Where and how would I make a "more secure location" to store the backup, or does anyone even worry about this?
There is a parenthetical reference to chmod 0777 in the warning with the note that "Your web server must have access to write to this directory."
This falls into the "I have no idea what this means or what to do about it" category so I left things alone since the database is currently empty (new) and thought I'd ask if I need to do anything about it eventually, and if so, what and how?
