Problem might be on my side, and probably is :) but I just dont understand some features of new config file and perhaps you can explain them. This not a ticket, its morealike commentary. So I will go one by one while using your config file from https://github.com/ltguide/CraftBukkit-MineBackup/wiki/Configuration:

first part is ok, I understand that these are setting for everything unless its written otherwise in world section:
default_actions:
save: false
copy: false
compress: false ###From what I understand this is interval of backup, why it is called compress? also default setting as false is kindof confusing, usually when someone is set as false then other setting would be true, right?
dropbox: false
default_settings:
save: 15m
copy: 1h #### what exactly copy does? copy what and where?
compress: 1h
compression_level: 9
dropbox: '3:00'
keep: 24

Ok and now for worlds, I dont understand why worlds has less default options, should I add them? are they taken from default settings if not set? Or unnecessary in this case?

worlds:
someworldname: #### should I change this to my world name? when I changed it minebackup created it again...
save: true
compress: true #### now here compress is true? shouldn't it be 3h or something?
dropbox: true
someworldname_nether:
save: 30m
compress: 3h
keep: 8 ### here you set keep
someworldname_the_end:
save: 30m
copy: 6h
keep: 4

rest of config is alright.... so there are my commentaries. As I said, maybe Iam just slow with understanding it. But also it might help to make it easier to understand :)
