Hello,
I am using your Xcloner component, your component is really helpful and utilised. I am looking for making a complete backup(Site & DB) by using a cron job once a day per week in FTP zipfile transfer mode.
I was trying to make an akeeba frontend backup using cURL command. But unfortunatly my tutor didn't accept to create a cron schduling in server cause of it's shared.
I saw your component installed in my website shows to be modified a file. But i am not really sure about modifing anything. Could please help me?

Inside the XCloner backend, there is a left menu called Cron, check that, it has all the info you need to start running the automated backups.

Thank you for your quick reply, I have completed the configuration step on my site. I got the following message
To run this script you need to create a custom config file inside XCloner Config, and call the script using php cli command like this:
php /****************/administrator/components/com_xcloner-backupandrestore/cloner.cron.php mycustomconfig.php
Excuse me! I am not very clear about it? I have an ambiguity in that.
it has to rename the file cloner.cron.php as mycustomconfig.php?
(or)
I need to create a new file called mycustomconfig.php?
(and)
Where i can schedule my cron job in this case(An automatique backup per week)?
Thank you for your reply!

Inside the XCloner Config->Cron tab area there is a field where you can save the custom config, check that and adjust the cron command with that new name, so replace mycustomconfig with the new name.
Hope it helps!

The directions here to this point are vague and do not help at all.
I spent a couple of hours trying to get this to work before it became clear what the instructions actually meant.
And this was after what seemed lke it would be a simple upgrade, well it changed some custom settings that I had.
Anyway, the error is basically telling you what you need to change your crontab (Cron Job) information to, but is vague.
Step One
What you need to do is navigate through the menu on the left to XCloner/Administration/Configuration
When that page opens on the top menu of XCloner click the Cron tab.
Enter whatever you want into the Configuration Name text field ie. CronJob1
Enter Your email address in the next 2 fields
Go through the rest of the page and fill in any settings you have credentials for
Click SAVE at the top right of the web page
Step Two
Open a terminal client (ie. Putty) to your web server
Create a crontab or edit your current crontab by typing crontab -e
You can add the following command to your crontab
23 15 * * * php /var/www/YourWebSiteFolder/administrator/components/com_xcloner-backupandrestore/cloner.cron.php CronJob1.php
It all should be on one line your path to your web site may differ the key is php a space path to cloner.cron.php a space CronJob1.php
Finally to stop from receiving 2 emails containing the same info disable one by adding &> /dev/null to the end of the command
So the copmplete line should look like
23 15 * * * php /var/www/YourWebSiteFolder/administrator/components/com_xcloner-backupandrestore/cloner.cron.php CronJob1.php &> /dev/null
That would run the cron job everyday at 11:15pm
