It generates many backups altogether and sends them via email

    Hello, since more than I year I have set the plugin to make the backup once per day and send it to my email.

    However almost always it sends the backup 3-6 times. Every day. Every email is sent ~2-3 minutes after the other.

    However today I received around 40 emails with databases backups.

    I could see that at that time the CPU was very high. So it’s not only that the emails were many, but for each email there was a new mysqldump.

    Do you know why it happens? How to resolve it?

    Unfortunately, I have no idea, I am running this on 3 websites and 1 heavy traffic site and they seem to work well for me.

    If your site is under high traffic, I suggest replacing WP_CRON with a real cron https://support.hostgator.com/articles/specialized-help/technical/wordpress/how-to-replace-wordpress-cron-with-a-real-cron-job

    Hi, isn’t it possible to add an option in the option of WP-DBmanager and have there the possibility to use WP-chron or Chron?

    So that if the user selects Chron, there will appear a box below, where it is possible to enter the Chron command to run?

    That is your WordPress, nothing to do with the plugin as it just makes use of WP Cron API.

    The only thing I can thing of is that multiple crons are being spawned by WordPress at the same time and hence you get multiple backups. Using a real cron might solve this issue.

    Yes, I remember a plugin (but I don’t remember the name) that gave the users the possibility to use wp-chron or the real server chron.

    I think that the option to choose which chron to use, inside the plugin option, can be a nice feature that can be used for all of those whoes wp-chron is not the best solution.
