Hoi Nicolas,

I have now set up Panopticon for a few website(s) and now want to take the next step.
This step is automating my BackUps with Akeeba Backup.
Can this indeed be done via Panopticon or can I set it up via Akeeba Backup.
If the following is the correct instructional video.

My backup policy, I now do manually:

1) Every Monday of every week I make a backup;
2) I make a backup every 1st of the month;
3) I make a backup every last day of the month.

I would like to automate this policy for all my website(s).

Is this video a good tutorial for this or is there another one as I want to do it from Panopticon.

Before I get started, I want to go through the video or instruction step by step and test whether I can get it to work.

Hello Davide,

Is there a manual or video available that we can use to set this up via Panopticon? This is of course easier than having to set up all the CRON tasks. Perhaps the manual for this can be found on Github.

I managed to configure an automatic backup via Panopticon.
Also tested it and the action is executed on the set date.
However, I am not satisfied with the description of the backup (see attachment).
I think I need to adjust this {DATE_FORMAT_LC7} (see attachment).

I would like the following description configured: the full date and time the backup was performed.

Do I sometimes need {DATE_FORMAT_LC7} in the following format {dd-MM-yyyy HH:mm:ss}

I want something to happen automatically, every last day of the month.
If this is the correct CRON expression: 0 0 28-31 * *
The promotion is then intended to be performed every last day of the month at 00:00:00 hours

or

0 0 28-31 * * [ "$(date +\%d -d tomorrow)" == "01" ] && <command>

I managed to get my backup policy in a test website:

30 | A backup must be made every Thursday at 00:00:00.
31 | A backup must be made, every 1st day of the month at 00:00:00.
32 | A backup should be made, every last day of the month at 00:00:00.

Just added an attachment, to show, how I decorated it in Panopticon

I hope you can / do you want to confirm whether I am on the right track.

If a positive answer is given, I will close this ticket.

Which notification should I use to get the result as described above.

Hoi Nicholas,

I've decided to close the ticket over Panopticon. This is because I don’t think it is desirable to leave tickets open for a long time. I now have a good eye on the principle of Panopticon and I can work well with it and make beautiful steps. If I run into a question again, which I can not find in the documentation, I will get back a ticket.

Hoi Nicholas,

Can you close this ticket, the button [Close Ticket], don't work by me.
