Need to change the folder name for the backups. I see the backups are encrypted in a string but still I would like to not only change the name of the folder but also move the folder out of the installation directory. For example, into /public_html/. I can do this by changing the path. Need to know where to make this change.

You'll need to search the code for the '_backup' path and rename it, it's not a configurable option within the script at the moment.

If you download an IDE like NetBeans you can search the code globally once it's indexed all the files.

Note: The /files/ directory will be blocked from access via a browser, there's an .htaccess file in it blocking direct access. I appreciate why you might want it moved elsewhere though.
