How to Create a Custom Backup Job

You can customize all aspects of a backup job by clicking the WordPress icon in the upper left corner of your website thumbnail in  your 10Web dashboard.

 Hover over Backup by 10Web in the left menu, and click Add new job. 

In the General tab, you can choose a name for the backup, select if you want to backup the database, files, or both. Choose the backup file type, and where you want the backup to be stored. You can also set to get an email containing the backup log, if you want. 

The Schedule tab allows you to choose a method for your backup job. Choose from  Manual, TenWeb Cron, or Link. With the manual option, your site will be backed up only when you choose to run a manual backup. The TenWeb Cron method will allow you to schedule a backup using either Basic or Advanced features. And the Link method will only do a backup if you run the link provided once you choose the Link option. Click Save when you’re done customizing.

The DB Backup tab allows you to set options for the backup of your Database. Backup all tables or manually choose which tables need to be backed up for this particular job. You can also choose to compress your backup or not, and for extra security, you have the option to encrypt your data. 

Customize the files and folders to be backed up in the Files Backup tab. Here you can set the folders needed to be backed up and exclude folders that are not needed for the job. Once you are finished with configuring the settings, click Save. 

In the TenwebCloud, you have the option to delete or keep the deleted files from your previous backup sync. 

To run a backup Manually with the New Job you have just created, click on Backup by 10Web. You will see a list of all your jobs. Hover on New Job and click Run Now. 

If you’ve scheduled a backup, it’ll be performed automatically at selected time.
