I've maybe got a similar problem. I have activated the automated backup as it is described in the documentation. Put on active, set a day and an time etc.
There is a cron job automated backups in the scheduled tasks. It runs hourly. But when the time arrives, it just says that the task has been run and that 4 things have been read but nothing has been written.
In the log file it says
Execute scheduled task: Automatische Sicherungen (core\task\automated_backup_task) ... started 20:50:01. Current memory use 20.9MB. Checking automated backup status...OK Checking courses Skipping deleted courses...0 courses Running required automated backups... ... started 20:50:01. Current memory use 42MB. Getting admin info Automated backups complete. ... used 4 dbqueries ... used 0.1585419178009 seconds Scheduled task complete: Automatische Sicherungen (core\task\automated_backup_task)
which doesn't seem to me like it understands that it has to find hundreds of courses on our site. But no matter the size of the site, on my own Moodle site that I run for practice (we both have got Moodle 3.11) with only four courses the same thing happens so that somehow I believe that it's my fault, but what could it be? By the way, I waited hours for a result to come even for the big site, but nothing happens.
What I also ask myself: In the settings for the automated backup I determine a time for the backup and in the cron job as well. Which one is true? Have I maybe committed an error there?
You probably notice that I am quite new as an administrator, so please excuse me if my questions are quite silly.
Kind regards,
Clemens
