Description of my issue:

I am trying to automate daily backups using the CRON backup and keep getting this email (follows) but don't get a backup completed email, unlike when I do a backup from the akeeba component directly. It seems like something is going wrong with the automation, any help is greatly appreciated! Thanks!

Hi Nicholas,

Do you know anyone using Hostgator and what path they use for the cron job, I'd much prefer not to use the front end backup.

Thanks
Rob

Hi,

I went with the front end backup.

Thanks
