 * No matter what, the backups are at the wrong time and never backup at the right
   time. It says my site has no visitors, but I am currently using native cron with
   this command:
 *     ```wp-block-code
       wget -qO- https://example/wp-cron.php &> /dev/null
       ```
   
 * example is replaced with my domain.
 * Debug code is: BMI-7dUejpbm-14540

 * Hi [@robertzou1234](https://wordpress.org/support/users/robertzou1234/)
 * The command you use for wp-crons is good and even recommended by our plugin.
 * Nevertheless, it’s difficult for me to tell what’s going wrong there. I couldn’t
   notice any error or any warning.
 * Please make sure native WP Cron is disabled by `define('DISABLE_WP_CRON', true);`
   in your wp-config.php
 * It seem like the scheduled cron is hitting wp-cron.php every 7 minutes right?
 * I would recommend you to try setting the scheduled backup time to:
   everyday |
   at | 02:00
 * Timezone on your website is set to -7, it may be possible that it causes some
   conflicts as the server time seem to be set to +0, setting the scheduled date
   to something else than 00:00 may resolve the issue.
 * Let me know if that worked for you 🙂
   Thank you!

 * I changed the server time and rebooted the server. After testing for 2 days, 
   it still backups at the wrong time.

 * Hi [@robertzou1234](https://wordpress.org/support/users/robertzou1234/)
 * Could you please check this info icon: [https://prnt.sc/t045Jpk7FNi2](https://prnt.sc/t045Jpk7FNi2)
 * “Server time” there means the time our plugin compares with what you set in the
   configuration (everyday at 00:00, in you case).
 * It seem to be delayed by 3 hours right now.
 * The solution would be to set the time to (everyday at 21:00, if my assumption
   is right).

 * As we didn’t hear any reply in last days.
   I can assume that you resolved the 
   issue.
 * Feel free to open new topic if I am wrong!
   Thank you 🙂
