 * Hi,
 * I’m trying to use BackUpWordPress with a cronjob on my server crontab. I’ve just
   configured BackUpWordPress daily with the following setup:
 * wp-config.php:
 *     ```
       ...
       /* CRON */
       define('DISABLE_WP_CRON', true);
       define('HMBKP_DAILY_SCHEDULE_TIME', '05:00');
       /* ¡Eso es todo, deja de editar! Feliz blogging */
       /** WordPress absolute path to the WordPress directory. */
       if ( !defined('ABSPATH') )
       define('ABSPATH', dirname(__FILE__) . '/');
       /** Sets up WordPress vars and included files. */
       require_once(ABSPATH . 'wp-settings.php');
       ```
   
 * crontab:
    `0,15,30,45 * * * * wget -q -O /dev/null http://mywebsite.com/wp-cron.
   php?doing_wp_cron`
 * Scheduled posts are working ok but scheduled backups doesn’t work, even if I 
   try to run [http://mywebsite.com/wp-cron.php](http://mywebsite.com/wp-cron.php)
   or [http://mywebsite.com/wp-cron.php?doing_wp_cron](http://mywebsite.com/wp-cron.php?doing_wp_cron)
   manually.
    Do you know what I’m missing?
 * Thanks.
