Set time of backup

Hello,

Is it possible to set a certain time of day when the backup starts? Now is set to run in the middle of the day, and takes usually 1 hour to finish the backup, with a big load of around 17-20, so I want to set the backup time to be at night when there is not big traffic on my websites. Where can I define the backup start time?

Thanks

Hi!

If you log in as admin you can go to cron jobs and edit: sudo /usr/local/vesta/bin/v-backup-users to run at the given time.

Why not set the default backup time to "03:00" or "04:00" instead of "12:00"? We all know that in small hours most people are in sleep so the server load is very low.

Thank you.
