Automating Backups

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

 

 Log in to the Ridgeline Servers Control Panel . 

 Go to your server and open the Schedules tab. 

 Click Create New Schedule and set a name for the task (e.g., "Daily Backup"). 

 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. 

 

 

 Under Actions , click Add New Task and select Create Backup . 

 Enable Task is Active , then click Create Schedule . 

 

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