[resolved]cannot Perform Backup In Bitdefender

I just bought BitDefender TS 2011. I just configured my backup settings in the product. However, after telling it what I want backed up, and the time interval, it goes on to start the initial backup process. Every time I try this, I get an error message.

=============================================

Unable to connect to the server. Your Internet connection

may be broken. You can either retry now, or the system can

wait until it detects a network connection. Note that your

firewall software may in fact be preventing the backup from

running. Please check your firewall settings.

=============================================

Two things:

First, my firewall is through the BitDefender program.

Second, my internet connection isn't broken because I have my Outlook client open and it is downloading new messages when I get them and I AM able to connect to the internet through a browser.

Does anyone know how this issue can be fixed?

Thanks.
