If you’re using wordpress, chance are you’re using Updraft plugin for backup and restore purpose, but it doesn’t always working with automatic backup especially some host may disable wordpress cronjob. So it’s better to create a manual cronjob as following:
In the wordpress installation folder, create a backup.php
with this content:
<?php define('UPDRAFTPLUS_CONSOLELOG', true); define('DOING_CRON', true); require_once('wp-load.php'); do_action('updraft_backupnow_backup_all');
Now create a cron job to run this file eg at 2AM everyday:
crontab -e 0 2 * * * /bin/php /var/www/public_html/wordpress_website/backup.php esc :wq Enter
