 * Hi,
    The backup only works automatically when logged into WordPress. For instance,
   I have it set to backup once daily at 11pm. So this morning there was not a saturday
   backup, neither a weekly backup.
 * When I log into WordPress to check the backup log, it automatically starts backing
   up immediately.
    It won’t do it when I’m logged out of WordPress.
 * Any help would be appreciated.

 * It sounds like you might have a low traffic site? If that’s the case, then it
   will only fire off the database schedules when you are on the site. This is due
   to the wp-cron limitations.
 * We have some additional information and tips for things you can try to counter
   this, if you want to read up on that and try some of the suggestions:

 * Let me know if you have additional trouble from there, okay?

 * Yes, it is a low traffic multi-site. Only for educational use.
    There are 20 
   students working on there own site once a week.
 * The additional information is great.
    Thank you very much, Kat.
