Hi All,
What is the type of backup method takes place when a moodle backup cron job run at the 2nd time?
I assume it to be incremental and yet wants a confirmation..

Hi
Do you mean Site administration > Courses > Backups > Automated backup setup? Then No, it makes a backup per course, as you can see in their names like sicherung-moodle2-course-993-abu_4j18-22a-20200908-0150.mbz, where '993' is the course ID.
But the script does not backup every course, only those which satisfy the criteria in the setup mentioned above.

with regards to this..? https://docs.moodle.org/20/en/Cron
Saw that you already got answers in the developer forum: https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=411999.
Hi Vishvanath,
My question is regard to this link,
to get this enabled Turnitin says to run the moodle course backup cron job. My doubt is , when it first runs it takes a quiet a bit of space (as we have nearly 200 modules) and when let it runs continuously, is it a incremental backup or full backup?
(Cron job is Mandatory to make this setting enabled)
Hi
Independent of Turnitin running the cron.php regularly is a must for the proper operation of Moodle. See the highlighted sentence in https://docs.moodle.org/en/Cron. If Turnitin requires that https://docs.moodle.org/en/Automated_course_backup (triggered from cron.php) needs to be run, then you must. Yes, I know that the automated course backup is an expensive operation - in big sites it can drag on for hours and even days! You can run the Advanced forum search https://moodle.org/mod/forum/search.php?id=5 to find such discussions.
N.B. Could you please add a note to your previous discussion https://moodle.org/mod/forum/discuss.php?d=411999 saying the the follow up is here? You are stretching the effort of the community unnecessarily. Ref. the appropriate section in the Moodle Sity Policy https://moodle.org/mod/page/view.php?id=7080.
