thnx for this great component - makes the whole process of taking a regular, dependable, restorable(!) backup so much easier.
I hope I'm not repeating a question that gets asked all the time - I want to schedule two types of backups of the site:
[ul][li]1 weekly backup of everything.[/li]
[li]1 nightly backup of the database only (so I never lose an order)[/li][/ul]
is this possible?

Hi there! It's possible with some little adjustments, here is what you would have to do:
- go in administrator/components/com_cloner/, there you will find a file called cloner.cron.php, copy that files contents into another like cloner.cron2.php
- second, create this file cloner.config2.php from the original cloner.cron.php, this is the main configuration file telling the cron what to do
- third open the file cloner.cron2.php and find this line
[code:1]include_once("cloner.config.php"«»);[/code:1]
and replace it with
[code:1]include_once("cloner.config2.php"«»); [/code:1]
Note: the cloner.cron2.php will have the settings from the original config, so whatever you have set there it will be run as it is, for example if you want to make the database cron only, go in Configuration first, choose that, save it and then move the cloner.config.php to cloner.config2.php! This way you would be able to run cloner.cron2.php as a database backup!
To run the weekly full backup, after this, go in the Configuration again, change the settings for full backup and done, you are able to run cloner.cron.php as a full backup process!
If you need help, just open a ticket and i will help you set it up!
