auto backups do not run?

Hi Everyone

I went into backup and set it to run every night at 3am, but I never see the zipped files.  Any idea why it's not running.  I set it to active...Or am I missing something?

thanks

Jennifer

Do you have cron set up on your server? Also look for the 'logs' item on the backup config page.

Hi Jennifer,

to install Moodle's cron, you can take a look to http://moodle.org/doc/?file=install.html#cron

Your image posted above is EXACTLY the one showed when the scheduled backup never has been executed, so I think it's correct. Once your cron system will be running you'll see more info there...
