[FX.php List] Folder path?

[Dale Bengston]

I totally agree about backups. I tend to make my backups happen  
locally (in the aforementioned backups folder) and then use a script  
or backup software like ChronoSync to move them to a network volume  
(or offsite over IP). This way, if the target volume can't be found  
for the off-machine backup, at least I have local backups happening  
until I solve the remote backup problem.
