That means that the backup function was not converted to the new permission then.

I've double checked and I made all of the code changes mentioned here.   I don't think I've made a mistake.

I didn't say you made a mistake...I was saying one of the functions was missed. The function for backing up.

Find
// Administrators only!
if (!allowedTo('admin_forum'))


Replace
// Administrators only!
if (!allowedTo('access_maintenance') && !allowedTo('admin_forum'))

I do believe allowedTo(); accepts an array, does it not? Also...as discussed earlier in this topic, unless I am not thinking about it from the right angle (Not put much thought into it, to be honest) the admin_forum permission does not need to be in question as admins will always be able to access_maintenance.

You're right about allowedTo accepting an array. Not sure why I didn't think of that :P

The "admin_forum" permission is "Administrate forum and database". That is not the same as the "Administrator" group, though it essentially gives you the same permissions.
