Configure your backup plans
Note ⇒ You need to run both the commands:
Every Hour
The first command creates a scheduled cronjob for backup: wp cron event schedule ai1wmde_dropbox_hourly_export now hourly.
The second one updates our extension settings : wp option update ai1wmde_dropbox_cron ‘[“hourly”]’ –format=json.
Every Day
The first command creates a scheduled cronjob for backup: wp cron event schedule ai1wmde_dropbox_daily_export now daily.
The second one updates our extension settings : wp option update ai1wmde_dropbox_cron ‘[“daily”]’ –format=json .
Every Week
The first command creates a scheduled cronjob for backup: wp cron event schedule ai1wmde_dropbox_weekly_export now weekly.
The second one updates our extension settings :wp option update ai1wmde_dropbox_cron ‘[“weekly”]’ –format=json.
Every Month
The first command creates a scheduled cronjob for backup: wp cron event schedule ai1wmde_dropbox_monthly_export now monthly.
The second one updates our extension settings :wp option update ai1wmde_dropbox_cron ‘[“monthly”]’ –format=json.
Backup Time
To change backup time (unix timestamp): wp option update ai1wmde_dropbox_cron_timestamp 1650534475
The particular time of the day when you want the backup to be carried out needs to be converted to unix timestamp format which is represented as seconds
Retention settings
To keep the most recent backup: wp option update ai1wmde_dropbox_backups 1.
To limit the size of backup: wp option update ai1wmde_dropbox_total 1GB.
To remove backups older than X days: wp option update ai1wmde_dropbox_days 10
Note: You can change the number of recent backups and the size of the backup as your needs dictate.
