   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.

   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.

   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.

   Thanks for your answer. 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?
