I am quite satisfied with your backup solution. The problem is that I get multiple backups (more than one for the same day) even when I have set one daily SQL backup. I guess that this happens because mutiple users trigger wp-cron at the same time. The backup process takes quite some time, because the backup itself is about 30 MB. Is there any way to resolve this? </p> http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/topic/running-backups-with-linux-cron#post-463 Thu, 21 Feb 2008 20:25:24 +0000 rol 463@http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/ <p>adirex, If you are able to utilize linux cron, you'll probably able to set a up much more versatile solution than BackUpWordPress. I myself use rdiff-backup which is based on rsynch. This way I can run backups incremental. </p> http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/topic/running-backups-with-linux-cron#post-396 Mon, 24 Dec 2007 13:52:43 +0000 adirex 396@http://wpforum.designpraxis.at/ <p>Is it possible to make an automatic backup solution that wouldn't rely on the wp-cron, but rather the Linux cron solution? I don't like the fact that users have to wait when the backup is processed and they can not see the website until the backup process is finished. </p> <p>The idea is to create a passkey for the backup process and whenever somebody accesses "www.myblog.com/?process_backup=backup_name" the backup would be run and it wouldn't affect anybody browsing the website. This way I could put this to the Linux cron with "curl" function and schedule backups any at time and with any frequency I want. </p>
