Hi @Ilyes,

you can run a cron job on a shell script, something like this (assuming Debian):

/home/frappe/erpbackup.sh:

cd /home/frappe/frappe-bench
/usr/local/bin/bench backup --with-files

Then, run

$ sudo crontab -e

and enter e.g. for every night at midnight)

0 0 * * * /home/frappe/erpbackup.sh

Also, make sure to pick the files up from /home/frappe/frappe-bench/sites/site1.local/private/backups and copy to an appropriate storage (extend the script accordingly).

Hope this helps.

Hi @Ilyes,
that should work on Ubuntu as well (as it is derived from Debian)…
