Something is not right. You say you are on Backup 3.10.1, but the log says 3.9.2 and the copyright in the CRON log says 2014 (not 3.9.2). You may have a partial upgrade of the Backup component. Please install Backup 3.10.1 twice, back to back, without uninstalling the component. If you uninstall, you will lose all your settings and possibly your stored backup files.

Hello Again, I fixed a couple items of my own stupidity. I move the site from a different directory and did not change the configuration.php to reflect the new path. Once I fixed this my, other PHP script (for syncing Flickr) started working. However, I still get the same error on the backup scripts? I feel like this is my issue, but I can’t find the problem. Here’s a new log. Thanks, -Bill

Bill,

Not stupidity, "non-standard interpretation of instructions." Happens to us all. :-)

This log looks like the backup finished properly, it did not delete the local backup after post processing, but I can't tell for sure if it should have. Did your CRON log indicate any error?
