    Yep, that is exactly what we recommend because the /bps-backup folder is protected with a Deny All .htaccess file. The Deny All .htaccess file does NOT interfere with backup plugins – we have tested all of them and there are no issues or problems.

    Create a new folder under the /bps-backup folder.
    Example: /bps-backup/website-backups
    And then add this path in your backup plugin settings so that backups will be created in your /bps-backup/website-backups folder.

    Good deal, and thanks again!

    WP-DBManager (plugin) suggests adding htaccess protection to the database backup folder…

    <Files ~ ".*\..*">
order allow,deny
deny from all
</Files>

    … but I am assuming that would not be necessary since it is already inside the bps-backups folder, correct?

    Either way is fine. The entire /bps-backup folder and all subfolders are protected with Deny All .htaccess file protection.
