You might ready then for a little more command line 'foo'!
Take, as an example, the backups you just made ... had to use 2 GUI apps and x number of clicks.
With CLI (a bash shell script) all three of those could be accomplished with execution of one self-made 'command' - one of which is backing up your DB - and better compression of backup files (saving some space).
And, not only site backups, but course backups could be done via CLI and saved to an archived directory located outside of Moodle.
The setup of cron is done outside of Moodle admin interface.
and you do want that to run every minute if you can.
It is VERY important for the health of your moodle.
And now that you are running near latest/greatest, fixes/patches to code and security updates will be forth coming on a regular basis.
Your 4.2.0 is now a 4.2.2 ... soon to be a 4.2.3
Do you use the EMail address in your profile?
