Automated database backup schedule not changing

    I configured All In One WP Security to backup my database hourly, but found my web server appears to be under too much load (possibly due to the hourly backup and other things). So I configured it to run backups every 1 day instead to try an alleviate server load where possible.
    However, the backups are still running every hour.

    WP v 6.0
    All In One WP Security Version 4.4.12

    See settings: https://snipboard.io/CdE4lz.jpg

    See backup files: https://snipboard.io/Z4Ax5d.jpg

    Please advise how I can ensure the schedule runs correctly or if there is any other information you require?

    Log into phpMyAdmin, goto your wp_options table. Along the top tab, find “search”
    Next to Option name select %like..%” and enter ‘aio’
    Next to Option value select %like% and enter ‘backup’

    You should then see a row called “aio_wp_security_configs”, click ‘edit’

    Find the following section in the Option Value box and change the numbers to match the values below;

    “aiowps_db_backup_frequency”;s:1:”1″;s:25:”aiowps_db_backup_interval”;s:1:”2″;s:26:”aiowps_backup_files_stored”;s:1:””;s:32:

    This should then set your backup schedule to once a week, retaining two backups

    Thanks. The values were originally this in the database:
    “aiowps_db_backup_frequency”;i:1;s:25:”aiowps_db_backup_interval”;s:1:”1″;s:26:”aiowps_backup_files_stored”;i:5;s:32:

    I changed the values to what you suggested and went back to the plugin in the WP Dashboard. The settings to backup the database appeared to have been cleared though. Please see: https://snipboard.io/GDWqxI.jpg

    The usual hourly backup did not occur, so I’m unsure whether they will run weekly now either.
    However, I’m not too concerned about that as I’ve decided to not run the database backups though All In One WP Security. I’m already using Updraft Plus to backup the database, as well as the host’s backup.

    Thanks

    I checked further settings in the plugin and noticed my Security Strength score on the dashboard had dropped to about 25. Also all the other settings appeared blank as in the screenshot.
    I reverted the above changes and the score and settings reappeared.
