    If you specify the WordPress root directory as the backup destination, the backup overwrites the .htaccess and index.php of WordPress. That’s not a good idea!
    WordPress can no longer start.

    Hi @zwerg277

    Setting up root path as backup directory is not a good idea and it makes your backups vulnerable.

    Please, disable/remove our plugin via FTP and then setup your .htaccess file again like this: https://www.ads-software.com/documentation/article/htaccess/#basic-wp

    index.php file contents:

    <?php
    define( 'WP_USE_THEMES', true );
    require __DIR__ . '/wp-blog-header.php';

    We will prevent ability to setup root path as backup directory in future versions of our plugin, thank you for reporting.
