Nate,

1) you should check if the mysql dumps is created. If the MYSQL Server 
is located on a different host then localhost w4x_backup needs to be 
patched. Then also Dimitries solution will not work. So check first if 
Mysql runs on the same host as your internet site with TYPO3.

2) 400mb on linux is no problem to backup with mysqldump. Check IF 
mysqldump is available for user access!

3) As ALL BACKUP is done on OS level PHP execution time should not be 
the problem.

Regs. Peter.
