    Backup - configuration not valid

    In trying to do a backup after "How often .." and clicking "SAve settings and
    start backup" I keep getting: "File backup could not save your automatic
    backup settings for the following reason: Your backup configuration is not
    valid. Review your backup settings. (0x81000029)".



    Not matter what I do I keep getting to this error message.

    Any clues?
