How to schedule backups

[ErnestoHD]

Hello:

Do you know how to schedule backup generation at specifc hour...

For example: I need that script backup generation starts at Oct 22th 17:00 and backups will be saved in folder /backup/cpbackups/daily/

Or do you know hos to start the script via SSH?

I really apreciate your help.

Thanks in advance!

You could edit crontab -e in root SSH and change the cron time:

0 17 * * * /scripts/cpbackup

file was configured like this:

BACKUP2 yes
BACKUPACCTS yes
BACKUPCHECK yes
BACKUPDAYS 0
BACKUPDIR /backups
BACKUPENABLE yes
BACKUPFILES yes
BACKUPFTPDIR
BACKUPFTPHOST
BACKUPFTPPASSIVE yes
BACKUPFTPUSER
BACKUPINC yes
BACKUPINT daily
BACKUPLOGS no
BACKUPMOUNT no
BACKUPRETDAILY 1
BACKUPRETMONTHLY 1
BACKUPRETWEEKLY 1
BACKUPTYPE normal
COMPRESSACCTS yes
DIEIFNOTMOUNTED no
GZIPRSYNCOPTS --rsyncable
MYSQLBACKUP both

but i change BACKUPDAYS 0 by BACKUPDAYS 5 (0 = Sunday)

or can be force the script /scripts/cpbackup --force
