Attention

  • We have integrated TYPO3-core scheduler TYPO3 Symfony Console Command which is only available in TYPO3 v9 and above. Checkout https://forge.typo3.org/issues/85990

  • For TYPO3 v8, You can not use TYPO3 Backend Scheduler, You should use TYPO3-CLI to run the scheduler backup.

Run Backup: From TYPO3-CLI

If you have bigger size TYPO3-website, then we recommend to take backup from Command-line TYPO3-CLI.

Step 1. Go to your Command-line/Terminal.

Step 2. Run the following command

Syntax: <php-path> <typo3-bin-path> nsbackup:scheduler <id>

Example: /usr/bin/php typo3/sysext/core/bin/typo3 nsbackup:scheduler 2
ns-backup-typo3-backend-command-console

You should configure Cronjob at your server as follows.
