If you're a server administrator you should check the rights and permissions of your backup directory. If you're a site owner you need to check with your hosting company.

Hi i'm the server administrator.

/backup have root permissions same as /home/backup

If you're a server administrator you should check the rights and permissions of your backup directory. If you're a site owner you need to check with your hosting company.

No one can enter a directory unless it has "x" permissions.

Both /backup and /home backup should be:

drwxr-xr-x

and the best way to do that is (as root):

cd /
chmod 755 /home/backup
chmod 755 /backup
