Webhook

You can configure a Cron Job to call Enupal Backup and automatically create a backup each night, rather than doing a manual Backup every time.

Before you begin,

• We recommend running your backups at a time of day or night when usage is low.
• Please make sure you have enough disk space on your server before proceeding.
• Could be a good idea take a look at the general settings and setup a proper amount of backups to keep locally.

Enupal Backup will enable a Webhook URL in order to be called from the Cron Job, follow the next steps to enable this feature:

1. Click on "Settings"
2. Click on "Schedule"
3. Enable Webhook
4. Add a "Secret Key" you could automatically generate one on clicking the "Generate" link
5. Save the Settings
6. Copy the Cron Example
7. Add the line copied to your crontab.

Alternatives to Cron

Some hosting companies don’t allow access to cron, but there are websites offering alternative ways of scheduling jobs (free or paid-for). Here are some examples:

• SetCron
• SetCronJob
• OnlineCronJobs
• EasyCron

TIP

Our example will execute your backup every morning at 3:10 AM.
