automatically schedule backups

    I am confused, sorry.

    I read: If you would like to automatically schedule backups, choose schedules from the dropdown above. Backups will occur at the interval specified starting just after the current time. If you choose manual you must click the “Backup Now!” button whenever you wish a backup to occur. If the two schedules are the same, then the two backups will take place together.—

    I set in Configure Backup Contents And Schedule:
    File Backup Intervals: Daily
    Database Backup Intervals: Daily

    But in Existing Schedule And Backups I read:
    Next Scheduled Files Backup: Fri, December 21, 2012 11:23 UTC
    Next Scheduled DB Backup: Will take place at the same time as the files backup.
    Last Backup: No backup has been completed.

    (I click Backup now at 11.23 UTC infact…)
    So my questions are:
    1) Next Scheduled Backup will be “in the past” (December 21). I suppose it means no next scheduled backups will be at all. So how to set the scheduled backups?
    2) Why no backup has been completed despite the fact I clicked Backup now and I triggered it loading the index.php of the site?

    Thanks!

    Hi Adriano,

    On 2), did you wait at least 5 seconds before visiting a page? This is needed when using ‘Backup Now’.

    On 1), when you first set a backup, it schedules it for 30 seconds in the future, so displays what looks rather like ‘now’.

    After that, if no backup appears to be taking place, then please follow the procedure described in the FAQs (turn on debugging, and post the log file in this thread).

    Hi David,

    thanks for quick answering.

    I will read the procedure. I miss it, sorry.
