Don't know how to build task 'heroku_backup'

I'd love to use this gem. Every time I run this:
$ heroku rake heroku_backup

I get this error:
Don't know how to build task 'heroku_backup'

I don't understand what to do with the Rakefile portion of the instructions, which I would guess is causing the problem. My Rakefile looks like this:

require File.expand_path('../config/application', __FILE__)
require 'rake'

require "heroku_backup_task"
require "heroku_cloud_backup"

task :cron do
    HerokuBackupTask.execute
    HerokuCloudBackup.execute
end

MyAppRails3::Application.load_tasks

I'm am using Rails 3.0.3 and Ruby 1.9.2-p0. I don't use Rails tasks much so I'm probably doing something wrong. I'd appreciated any help or suggestions. I've included the full trace below.

Thanks,
David

Do you have this in your Gemfile?

gem 'heroku_backup_task'
gem 'heroku_cloud_backup'

Thanks Kamui. I do have those in my Gemfile. I can succesfully run: $ heroku rake heroku_cloud_backup. But, I can't run: $ heroku rake heroku_backup.

Hmm.. Did you try the installation steps here:

I'm an idiot; it's working! Thanks for your help. I love seeing that list of backups in my S3 account. Now I can sleep at night.

kamui commented

I'm glad you got it working ;D

I have encountered the same error, it may be because my App is running on Cedar
The following FAILS
heroku run rake heroku_backup --app myapp

This one WORKS and places backup in s3 storage
heroku run rake heroku:cloud_backup --app myapp

thanks

By the way, i ran the backup manually so I could test the 2nd rake command (heroku run rake heroku:cloud_backup --app myapp)
