Title: Weekly Backup Issue Last modified: August 31, 2016 --- # Weekly Backup Issue * [wilcochris](https://wordpress.org/support/users/wilcochris/) * (@wilcochris) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/weekly-backup-issue/) * Hi all, * I am seeing something strange when I look in the jobs list. * I have 2 jobs set to run on a Sunday at 04:00 and 04:15. * When I go to see if they have run, they just don’t seem to have run. For example, the job should have run on Sunday 31 January (We are no Monday 1 February and the job still hasn’t run). * It said the job was last run on Sunday 24 January (Which I had to start the job manually) and it says it is next due to run on Sunday 7 February. * Can you advise as to why it seems to be skipping a week and why I have to start the Sunday jobs. The daily job works just fine. * Cheers * [https://wordpress.org/plugins/backwpup/](https://wordpress.org/plugins/backwpup/) Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 17 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/weekly-backup-issue/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/weekly-backup-issue/page/2/?output_format=md) * Plugin Contributor [Daniel Hüsken](https://wordpress.org/support/users/danielhuesken/) * (@danielhuesken) * [10 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/weekly-backup-issue/#post-7013048) * How did you have configured the shedulling ?

I’m sorry that I couldn’t figure out where that is set.
