Akeeba Backup for Joomla!

I have successfully migrated my site over to an Azure server, and now am trying to set up the "cron jobs", but need to use Azure Logic Apps to do this. Based on your in-product documentation it seems like I need to be makeing a "GET" call, but it seems to be failing where it starts the backup but then doesn't wait for the page to "finish loading" (the backup to finish), so the backups all fail. It's successfully starting them...but not finishing!

Can you help me with what I should be looking for when I do this? Is it a get? ...or a put/post?

I don't know how to "wait" for it to finish, or what message I should expect at the beginning and ending (codes?)

If you want to use the legacy frontend backup feature it's GET requests BUT they have to be made with a client which follows HTTP redirections without any limit on the number of redirections or the total time it takes for the redirections to finish. Therefore what you are using is not fit for the job.

Azure virtual machines do allow you to run command line applications, though. If it's a Linux machine you can set up CRON jobs. If it's a Windows machine you can set up scheduled tasks. If you are not sure how to do that please hire someone to do server management for you. We cannot offer server support, we can only provide the tools you need and explain their requirements and operating parameters.
