Two different places for autpmated backups scheduling !

Two different places for autpmated backups scheduling !

I'm running 2.9.1 Moodle instance and got confused when detecting that there are two places to set automated backups schedule !

What's the difference between the scheduling settings in:
Site administration > Courses > Backups > Automated backup setup
and
Site administration > Server > Scheduled tasks > Automated backups

Hi,

You already asked exactly the same thing (for Moodle 2.7, but nothing as changer for that), and already had answers!
When you ask things, please read answers wink

I'm feeling ashamed, but it's that it toke time to get your answer so i forgot it.

The important thing is thank you a lot, it was a good useful answer but have a question, if I disabled the `Courses > Backup > Automated backup setup` does this affects the timing in it and I still can use the other settings (location, what to backup ... etc) or it disables everything ??

As i explained in this message, if you define in "Courses > Backups > Automated backup setup", that "Automated backup" is "manual", it won't be executed automatically (by cron), but other parameters can be defined, and they will be used when executing moodle/admin/cli/automated_backups.php

Thanks a lot again,
I changed my way to use yours (manual with external cron and disabled scheduled task), this looks simpler and familiar.
