This feature is only available in Akeeba Backup Professional. Requires the Enable Legacy Front-end Backup API (remote CRON jobs) option to be enabled in the component's Options, Frontend tab. |
This script uses the front-end backup failure check feature
outlined above. The alternative CRON script is located in
cli/akeeba-altcheck-failed.php, and must be
run from the command-line PHP interface (PHP CLI).
In order to schedule a backup failure check, you will have to use the following command line to your host's CRON interface:
/usr/local/bin/php/home/USER/webroot/cli/akeeba-altcheck-failed.php
where /usr/local/bin/php is the
path to your PHP CLI executable and
/home/USER/webroot is the absolute path
to your web site's root. You can get this information from your
host.
The same considerations and scheduling information as the alternative backup CRON script apply.
