Dreamhost has disabled wp from cron

Just a further update on this post: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/backup-fails-from-wp-admin-but-works-via-command-line

I set up a cron job to run this nightly (“wp dreamobjects backup”). My site was moved to a new server and the job stopped working. After weeks of back and forth with Dreamhost “support”, I was finally told:

I checked with an admin, and apparently running wp-cli as root
as been disabled. This choice was made to avoid compromised WP sites
being able to execute code as root. I am afraid the script will need to
be adapted to run using the server crontab. I am very sorry for the
inconvenience.

So it’s not possible to run this via cron, which somewhat defeats the purpose. I figured you should be aware.
