 * Hello,
 * I’ve set my automatic database backups for everyday and I can’t see this backups.
   I’ve check the crons with “Advanced Cron Manager” and I don’t see any updraft
   backup crons. Can you maybe help me?

 * Hi there,
   Could you please tell me if your automatic (scheduled) file backups
   are running normally?The reason I ask is I’m considering the possibility your
   Cron scheduling may be disabled.The most common method is using a line of code
   in the wp-config.php file, this is the line:define( ‘DISABLE_WP_CRON’, true );
   If this code does exist in your wp-config.php file you can remove it or change
   true to false.Best regards,Nick

 * Hello,
 * thank you for your response. There is no such code-line in my wp-config and the
   automatic file backups aren’t running too. Are there other solutions?

 * Hi there,
   Thank you, I’m happy to help. Thank you also for confirming the absence
   of the line of code.I just installed Advanced Cron Manager so I could give you
   info based on the plugin options.I understand you previously checked cron events
   so some of the following may be redundant.There should be at least 3 updraft 
   events, backup, backup database and clean temporary files.In the ‘search events’
   field input ‘updraft’. ACM will then display a list of the matching events.You
   should be seeing an entry ‘updraft_backup_database’. If not, then it needs to
   be added.To do this I would suggest going to your settings, make a minor change
   and change it back.This will mean the option to ‘Save Changes’ appears, click
   that and then check cron events.The idea here is to make sure all the settings,
   including database, have been correctly saved.If that is the case you should 
   now see the entry ‘updraft_backup_database’ listed in events.I hope this is helpful.
   Please let me know if you continue to experience any problems at all.Best regards,
   Nick
