Hi there,
I have just found your great looking plugin (had backup wp before,but that stopped sending me my backup emails)
Anyways, I would love to set it up. Below are problems I have encountered.
Can you tell me please what EXACTLY to insert into the temporary folder and backup path?
I am also a little confused,should I use MYSQL backups or Cron ? I don't know what the difference is,how backup works and so on.
Completely new to this.I apologize.Maybe if there is a helpful link to read/catch up on this ?
Thanks a ton

Ok, first as per the XCloner install instructions, you need to create this folder /home/pola4853/public_html/musictoon.ca/administrator/backups and make it fully writeable.
Set also the Backup path to the same folder as above. The full documentation is available here https://docs.xcloner.com/#/ either as pdf or wiki, i would advise checking there first for any unclear issues.
Let me know if you have further issues! Regards, Ovidiu

I've made my first back up and am downloading the file to my computer now. Once I got the backup paths correct, it was actually pretty fast, which I appreciated. My question is this:
Once we have made a backup, should we make the /administrator/backups folder unwriteable (775)? I have had several major hacks this year and do not want to leave any open doors for malicious types.
If I make it unwriteable, will future backups be impossible? Does this file always need to be writeable for this plug-in to work (ie with automatic backups?)
I hope my question is clear, and I apologize if it is not.

Hi Molly, yes, after the backup is completed, you can switch back the permissions on that folder to unwriteable. And yes, XCloner does require it to be writeable when generating a backup as it tries to write some files in it.
