Sentora Backup cron url?

[clu55ter]

Getting very fustraited as I can find anything about setting up the cron to auto backup Sentora.

Sentora Backup and cron
1. What is the backup cron url?
For example lets say I want to set up a backup using the default Sentora backup, I need to add a Sentora cron job, but the cron asks for a url (script) where can I find this url?

In sentora documintation it says that i need to enter the url for the script in my public_html folder
The correct cron script path would look like:
your_domain_com/CRONFILE.php
your_domain_com/SUBFOLDER/SUBFOLDER/CRONFILE.php

but the cron I want to run is the Sentora backup scrip!

you can't run bash scripts that WAY!!!! You can only run php files.

Learn a bit over linux sys admin and how to use bash scripts.

Thanks you!
Does the backups start to run at a particuler time? i.e. 00.00

[Me.B]

nope depend on last runtime & first one I think. That should be better if we can setup a time for that.

Yes setting a time backup time to any furture Sentora release would be really great for people like me for example my education site gets really busy between 9am and 9pm, so running a backup during this period is really not good for me. If I could set it myself would be beneficial.

Ill post this in the Sentora Development form.

Thanks

Hello All,

I have a weird behaviour of my sentora...

About 7-8 domains, but each with 4-5 subdomains...

My sentora do about 12-15 backups of each domains a day !!!

Now, I 'll completely stop the backup feature...

But, how to rule that ?

Thanks.

PS: I use:

seem the backup bug is still here... TGates

That's correct, nobody ever fixed it. I think the suggested fix was to change it from an hourly check to a daily check in the controller.ext.php (Some changed it to run weekly.)
What happens is the backups start, and if not done in a decent amount of time it starts another backup. (Flag checking?)
To disable, go to Module Admin > Backup Config > Disable everything except purge backups (Will delete all backups eventually.)
The Backup Module is something different. (Manual backup)
This is why it is disabled by default during install. (Just checked my CentOS VM, already disabled.)
