Wamp failing on a WordPress plugin (BackUpBuddy)

so I had the same setup running on my computer all the same versions, for wordpress, wamp & backup buddy. But I had to reinstall my operating system cause of one virus and other things, wanted a clean start. Any ways after I did that, when ever I’m designing locally using ‘wamp’ and want to do a backup to push things online. It fails on me, saying that ‘The backup has halted’. If I upload the same version of wordpress and backup buddy to one of my online servers, they work fine. This is why I think the problem is with ‘Wamp’ and need help with someone who understands php and what the error is trying to tell me. Please help me, I’ve been going thru forums and blogs for weeks now and haven’t be able to come to a resolution for this.

Below is the status log that I got from BackUp Buddy:

I’ve tried increasing memory limits. Restarting the services. I’ve also clean installed this over and over again. Maybe I’m doing something wrong setting up the databases? Please help. Thanks.!
