 +======Database Backup Failed======
 +VPOP3 version 3 and later will, by default, make a backup of the database used by VPOP3 into a file. This uses the PostgreSQL utility '[[http://www.postgresql.org/docs/8.3/static/app-pgdump.html|pg_dump]]'
  
 +If an error occurs whilst running this program, VPOP3 will create a 'Database Backup Failed' error message to the administrator.
 +
 +The error message will look like:\\
 +** The Database backup task failed with error code //nnn//\\
 +The command VPOP3 ran was ""c:\vpop3\pgsql\bin\pg_dump.exe" -F c -h localhost -p 5433 -U vpop3 -f "DBBack-2.dmp" vpop3"\\
 +The output of the program was:**\\
 +
 +The error code '//nnn//' is the first place to look.
 +
 +  * '2' or '3' - check that the command (c:\vpop3\pgsql\bin\pg_dump.exe in the above example) exists on the VPOP3 computer. If PostgreSQL was installed into a different location, go to **Settings -> Database -> Backup** and change the path to the pg_dump.exe program.
