Akeeba Backup for Joomla!

Dear Akeeba,

I've been using webcron.org to schedule automatic backups of my client websites, however I would like to schedule a FULL SITE backup once a month (using 1 backup profile) and then INCREMENTAL backups every other day (using another backup profile) - is this possible as there only seems to be 1 'url you want to execute' in the documentation - which I presume is whatever profile is set as the 'default' profile?

Many thanks.

It has been possible since 2007 :) Versions from 5.0 onwards made it even easier by reducing the guesswork on your part. Here's how to do it.

Select the full site backup profile. Go to the Schedule Automatic Backups page in Akeeba Backup. Follow the instructions in there to set up the once a month backup in WebCron.org.

Now back to Akeeba Backup, select the second (incremental) profile. Go to the Schedule Automatic Backups page in Akeeba Backup. Follow the instructions in there to set up the once every second day backup in WebCron.org. Note that the URL it gives you is different than the one for the full site backup.

Hi Nicholas,
My webcron.org backups have stopped working for some reason... can I privately send you some screenshots that include URL's?

Please file a new private ticket. Do not include just a screenshot with the URL, include the URL itself in the ticket text. Otherwise I would have to squint forever at a screenshot hoping I am copying the long, randomly generated secret work correctly and that it appears in its entirety in the screenshot. Neither of these are very likely to happen and I wouldn't be able to help you correctly. Thank you in advance!
