Backup schedule

    Hello,

    The backups on my website seem to occur at random times and not consistently at 11pm as indicated.

    What can I do to make it more consistent, and furthermore, is there a way to choose a different time of backup ? The 11pm doesn’t correspond to my timezone.

    Here a prinscreen of my backup page. As you can see the backup times vary quite a lot:

    This is just how the WP job scheduling system works unfortunately. In order for a backup job to run, someone has to visit the website, either you or a visitor. Any job scheduled to run will then be started.
    Have you set the timezone correctly under General settings?

    Hello Paul,

    Thank you for your response. I understand now. Do you think this mean that the site can be slower for a few minutes when we visit it ?

    I have set the timezone to the correct one and the last backup ran on time, I guess I was connected to the dashboard when this happened.

    Thanks again for this great plugin.

    Cheers

    Hello ismhad,

    many hosting providers also allow you to set up special “cron jobs” that are run at any specific time. Maybe you can just define a cronjob that visits http://example.org/wp-cron.php?
