Since we updated last night, /logs is showing:

> uninitialized constant BackupRestore::Backuper::Discouse /var/www/discourse/lib/backup\_restore/backuper.rb:263:in `notify\_user’ /var/www/discourse/lib/backup\_restore/backuper.rb

The backup is created, , so I think it is just the notification that is failing.

(Note also the spelling error “Discouse”)

This on v1.8.0.beta8 +40

Does that string ring any bells @tgxworld?
