Description of my issue:

First attempt at CRON'ed backup.
Config is copy of default profile and this simply points at a non-standard output directory.
Backup runs OK manually using this profile.
CRON'ed version gives error Could not rename last JPA part to .JPA extension.
It appears to complete other than that - the log file indicates everything else OK. There is however no file present in the output directory other than the log files.

Host is a CPANEL host.

Looked for all the similar tickets but they seem to have a permissions cause in the main.

Have included screenshots of the directory, php environment, text of cron job as well as log files.

Once I had set up the front end backup, this worked OK.
Is it required to do it this way on a CPanel host?
I don't wish to offend, but reading the description of the Alt backup it sounds a lot like string and glue. Strong string and glue perhaps. Also, although the other method told me that it failed it was nice to receive a summary of the log in the email.
Is it also possible to use Amazon or Dropbox with the alt backup?

Thanks.

Interesting metaphor :-)

Yep, I found that option for email.

Thanks for assistance.
