How to schedule an automatic backup of a website

1. Login to DotNetPanel using the login information in your welcome email.

2. Click on your hosting space to get to the hosting space ("Bronze Hosting" in the example below).

3. Select Scheduled Tasks from the list on the left.

4. Click Add Scheduled Task.

5. Enter a name for the task and change Task Type to Zip Space Files. This will change the page to allow relevant information to be entered, as exampled below. Your website is stored in a folder with the same name as your domain, so enter that as your Space Folder for this task. Eg for my test user's domain testcomain.com.au i have entered "testdomain.com.au" as the folder. Give the backup zip file a name (and optional path) and set scheduled time. Please note the scheduler runs in Canberra and so is running on Canberra local time. Click save to commit the task and to complete the procedure.
