    Hi

    I would like to know how do I set a backup to take place every 3 months at a random time during the month. I have 50 sites and don’t want all backing up at same time on server! I want them all to be randomised but a backup every 3 months at least.

    Regards
    Alex

    Hi @lab41, there is currently no feature to have it run randomly, but you can set advanced cron options if you select the advanced scheduling box.

    What I would do is under month, select something like January, April, July, October. Under day, you can set each site to whatever day you want, spread throughout the month.

    If I may say so, with BackWPup Pro, there’s the option of exporting a job, so you could easily import the same job into all 50 sites and just change the schedule that it runs.

    1) Thanks.
    2) What I would do is under month, select something like January, April, July, October. Under day you can set each site to whatever day you want, spread throughout the month. = fine. But how do I do it at a random time during that day? Not at a specific hour and minute?
    3) First testing out the free option.
    4) how heavy is this plugin on a websites cpu and memory? What’s the best way to minimize it?

    @lab41, it is not currently a feature to have it run at a random hour and minute. But you can select any hour and minute you like, and you can select a different time for each site if you like.
