Description of my issue:

Hi
I've backed up successfully but when I restore it fails with various messages. I re-did the backup and watched it through - and it completed normally. Admin page shows backup ok size 362.70Mb but when I copy it down I get a much smaller file.
So, could you tell me whereabouts the backups are stored so I can try ftping it down.

Never mind, I've found it :)
