Have you set up cron?  That is needed to run automated backups as well as a host of other things on the site.

Is there a guide on this? I haven't heard of this before.

Hi Theo,

It's well explained in installation documentation that setting up a cron is a required thing to have a functionnal Moodle site!

Can you post a screenshot of your automated backup settings?

No, the automated backup set up page, not the default settings...

And for me it's not clear from the other message if cron is correctly set up, to occure regularly.

The more details we have, the more we can help you, and the opposite...

Sorry, but you did ask for 'automated backup settings'.

Please refer to my first post, I have already attached the 'automated backup set up page'.


Thanks,

I apologize - should have looked closer.  So nothing is showing up in the course backup area at all?  Anything in the backup logs?  Under admin/reports.  Then I would guess we are back to looking at cron.  What happens when you go to yoursite/admin/cron.php - do the backups run then?
