Backup mod
Master switch for scheduled site backups over SSH. Manual Run now can still work when off. Default off.
Backup mod
Master switch for scheduled backups. When off, the cron job does not run. You can still use Run now after SSH settings are saved.
Where to find it
Admin → Backup → Backup mod
Setting key: toggle.backup_mod
Default: off
(These settings live on the Backup page, not under Settings → Mods.)
How it works
Enable the mod, choose database and/or website, set SSH destination + auth + schedule, Test connection, then Save. Use Run now to verify before relying on the schedule.
Scheduled runs need: mod on, period not Off, host/user/path, and key or password (or identity file).
Common problems
Schedule set but nothing appears remotely
Mod off, period Off, SSH failed, or auth missing. Test connection and check recent runs on the Backup page.
