Problems with BackWpUp update plug-in

Published on Wealthy Affiliate — a platform for building real online businesses with modern training and AI.

Craig Smith (Welshy) recently posted a new training video on BackWPUp plugin which I am very grateful for!
After viewing the training, I went over to my email to check the daily sent emails from BackWPUp....... Lo and behold I discovered error and warning messages since 05/03/13! Messages such as ...
- ERROR: No destination correctly defined for backup! Please correct job settings.
- WARNING: File name "wp-content/uploads/2013/01/cropped-cropped-stock-photo-teapot-and-cups-on-table-with-bamboo-leaves-1118100502-e1358130377912-150x150.jpg" too long to be saved correctly in TarGz archive!
I use DropBox to store ALL my back-ups and scheduled this on a daily basis as I was adding new content daily.
I took the advice from Shawn Martin to delete and reschedule everything, so now I do it on a weekly basis rather than daily. However, after updating the plugin, then running it, I'm still getting the same error and warning messages!
Is anyone else experiencing this problem or is it just me?
