New host? If not they may have reconfigured the PHP support. You'll need to ask them to allow exec() if you're not allowed configure PHP yourself.
Note: I am not sure if there is an option to work around this or not within WSN Links. You could work around it your self by using phpMyAdmin to backup the data though.
PHP is probably in safe mode on the host. It really doesn't matter -- you should use your host's provided tools, either phpmyadmin or cpanel's database backup, to make a backup.

Hi when trying to backup my directory in wsn links admin panel I get the following message.
Warning: exec() has been disabled for security reasons in /home/url57460/public_html/admin/export.php on line 41
How do I enable it? I have never got this message before...
Also am I right when I say, all of wsn links data is stored in the mysql databse and by backing it up I am backing up all links and categories?
Thanks in advance...
