 * Thanks Nick. I hope this is ok & for what it is worth, since posting my questions,
   I took the liberty of ‘vibe coding’ a variation on the plugin for my own site(
   to make my father’s arrangements for guitar available to other guitar teachers
   etc, to tune the uploading process for my situation & others who are helping 
   with the material from time to time – there is a lot of it). Not sure of the 
   protocols around such things, and you are obviously welcome to a copy – if such
   things are of any interest to someone who can actually code!. You can see my 
   variant [here](https://waiatamusic.prime.net.nz/bonus-sheet-music-for-guitar-and-lute/)

 * How do I solve the mod_security incompatibility issue with Xcloner?

 * OK, more poking around revealed that the wp.config file had been set to disable
   wp_cron (possibly by the hosting company?). I tried reenabling it (per below),
   and this time was able to get a scheduled backup to actually occur – though I
   was logged in to Xcloner website at the time, so presumably the presence of human
   activity was triggering wp_cron to work?
 * `/** Disable the WP_CRON processes*/
   define('DISABLE_WP_CRON', false);
 * How should scheduled backups be initiated – via the wp_cron setting within the
   Xcloner wordpress installation (which would normally never be visited by a user),
   or via an external recurring cron task set up with the host?

 * Further info: disabling Mod security for domain of target website allowed me 
   to create a manual backup, so that does seem to be an issue.
 * A further issue remains, even with mod security switched off – scheduled backups
   are still not occurring. If I redefine an existing schedule item with new start
   date t& time a few minutes in the future and save, the schedule correctly reports
   the next scheduled backup will be occurring in xxx minutes and seconds – but 
   then nothing happens. No local archive file or remote archive file appears. No
   error messages appear on screen or in Xcloner log, or on the webhost error log,
   or in the browser console error log. This is a same schedule item that created
   an initial backup with no problem (with mod security off)

 * I am seeing this when I try to create a new backup
 * ` '{"readyState":4,"responseText":"Error 406 - Not Acceptable
   Error 406 - Not
   AcceptableGenerally a 406 error is caused because a request has been blocked 
   by Mod Security. If you believe that your request has been blocked by mistake
   please contact the web site owner.","status":406,"statusText":"error"}'
 * Does Xcloner require that sites it backs up are not protected by Mod Security?
   Otherwise how do I safely avoid getting this error?
 * I contacted my webhost, who advises the Mod Security rules are the same for most
   shared hosts, and get regularly updated. They suggested it would be a bad idea
   to disable mod security, and that I need to contact you to request the plugin
   be updated for better compliance with latest standards.

 * Further follow up on schedules. Even though the new schedule object instances
   I created can now be edited, they still appear not to work, or at least not as
   edited.
 * I edited a schedule to change the start time to execute in a few minutes and 
   saved. Accordingly the schedule object in the list view reported that its backup
   would be commencing in a few minutes – however nothing happened – no backup file
   was generated.
 * I tried this a few times, with no result (no tar file found on local server or
   remote storage location). The Xcloner log nevertheless generated an entry like
   this each time.
 * `[2025-04-24 04:25:07] xcloner_file_system.INFO: Cleaning the backup storage 
   LOCAL on matching rules [] []` each time
 * Checking my web host, the error log there has no recent entries (most recent 
   was yesterday)
 * Yesterday’s error logs however had many entries that look like like this, that
   I assume relate to Xcloner backup or schedule item editing attempts? :
 * `[Wed Apr 23 20:15:01.081816 2025] [authz_core:error] [pid 1090988:tid 1091077][
   client 47.128.35.238:0] AH01630: client denied by server configuration: /home/
   primen10/public_html/kingfamily/tree`
 * Could this relate to some sort of incompatibility with mod_security?

 * Apologies, rather than hanging around to troubleshoot, I just recreated all the
   schedule items. One thing I found the original schedule items had in common was
   outdated database references (WordPress installations were shifted to another
   account/server with the hosting company).
 * What also seemed to help was disabling Modsecurity (I had been getting frequent
   error 406 when trying to undertake Xcloner admin tasks too soon after a backup
   was done, or too often in succession, and sftp file transfers had been failing
   randomly – all seemed to go away with mod security turned off).
 * How important is having Mod_security enabled for Xcloner?
 * Perhaps this belongs in a separate post, but a few other things related to scheduling
   were noted:
 * Although a first backup has been completed for every WordPress installation in
   the schedule, the schedule does not reflect this, with all ‘last backup’ entries
   remaining blank, despite having ‘executed’ status.
 * ![](https://wordpress.org/3110410d-370b-41d0-8ad6-1c5660680e2f)
 * Each ‘executed’ status notification is a hyperlink, but it links to nothing
 * There is also no obvious or simple way to manually initiate a one off backup 
   from a schedule item as you would intuitively expect, at least not without changing
   the schedule start time to the current date, which then offsets the scheduled
   recurrences in ways that may not be intended.
 * This forces a user to otherwise define a new backup – with all the risks involved
   in that (wrong database selection, wrong file exclusions etc). This seems crazy
   when a perfectly good backup definition already exists.

 * Hi [@jimiero](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jimiero/)
 * I can’t find a setting to enable or disable Xcloner debug logs, but do see a 
   tab labelled ‘XCloner Debugger’ on the dashboard – looking in this, the only 
   entry I can find after an ‘Error saving schedule!’ warning is
 * `[2025-04-23 12:01:50] xcloner_file_system.INFO: Cleaning the backup storage 
   LOCAL on matching rules [] []`

 * Hi same error.
    Interestingly if I click the Authorize button again in Xcloner,
   I am directed to Microsoft OneDrive which now gives me sign error for the application“

   URLs configured for the application: ‘e20c579a-747e-49ee-9a09-566a9ebc6cc9’.”
 * There is no ‘reply URL’ field anywhere within that I can find within Microsoft
   App registration web pages for Xcloner. The only url field I can find is the 
   Authentication/ redirect URL field, which is set to the recommended value from
   my Xcloner storage locations webpage i.e. [http://www.xcloner.prime.net.nz/wp-admin/](http://www.xcloner.prime.net.nz/wp-admin/)
