I have a Wordpress site on a Debian/Linux dedicated server, with a Backupbuddy plugin for making automatic backups.

The plugin, however, gives an error 'Your server does not support command line ZIP'.

My knowledge of Linux commands is very limited, but I managed installing zip with the command sudo apt-get install zip

However, I still get the same error message. Plugin documentation mentions the problem could also be caused by disabled exec() or safe_mode - but exec isn't disabled, and safe_mode is off.

Any ideas what might be causing this, or how to fix it? The only thing I could think of, is it might be caused by wrong permissions?

Update BackupBuddy to latest version as there as been some fixes on this issue.
Backupbuddy says to do sudo apt-get install zip unzip (in your question you didn't mention that you had unzip install thought you might).
Even though you have edited php.ini make sure these rules are being read create a info.php with the following code and point browser to this file.
Ensure the zip and unzip is in the PATH environment variable
