Anope backs up its databases at midnight by default. That only works if there's a accessible 'backups' directory where the databases are. The ebuild should thus create that directory ('/opt/anope/data/backups'). BTW: Why is this thing under /opt?

I plan to rewrite the ebuild to get it out of /opt, and at the same time creating the backups directory. It wont be the next few days, since I'm busy moving, but I'll get it done :-)
If you could make sure that /opt/anope/data/services.conf is created somewhere also that would be groovy. The ebuild says to edit it, but it was not even created in the first place to edit.
Creating a backup of configuration now
