Hi there, I am trying to make a backup today, but it looks like it doesn't work. Usually backups are scheduled weekly, but i need to do a backup as soon as possible. I tried this command, but it does not work. Code: php /usr/local/ispconfig/server/cron_debug.php --cronjob=500-backup.inc.php The command display "Finished" but no backups were created. I tried another method: 1- I did change the "Backup time" in "Server Configuration" 2- I did change the "Backup interval" of each site from "Weekly" to "Daily" 3 - I restarted the cron service. But it doesn't work either... I found this article from Florian Schaal: https://schaal-it.com/backup-now-for-websites-and-database-with-ispconfig/ But i don't have any "Backup Now" button in my interface. My questions are: What can I do to backup my sites immediatly? How can I know reliably if the backup system works without waiting for Sunday?

This can not work as the change will take place after the next old interval. So when you had set it to weekly, then the new daily interval will start after the next weekly date. There is no such function yet, see pending feature request in our feature tracker. The timer is already set and will trigger on that date. You could try to manually change the date in sys_cron table in the database though, but I won't call this a reliable test.
