Automating Backups

Automating backups ensures your server is consistently protected without manual intervention:

1. Log in to the Ridgeline Servers Control Panel.
2. Go to your server and open the Schedules tab.
3. Click Create New Schedule and set a name for the task (e.g., "Daily Backup").
4. Use the Cron Expression field to specify when the task will run.
   • For example:
     • 0 2 * * * to run the backup daily at 2 AM.
     • 0 */6 * * * to run every six hours.
   • If you’re unfamiliar with cronjob syntax, consult https://crontab.guru/examples.html or the cheat sheet provided in the panel.
5. Under Actions, click Add New Task and select Create Backup.
6. Enable Task is Active, then click Create Schedule.

The schedule will now automatically create backups at the specified times.
