Why you post messages under 5 different names including anonymous? You miss email notifications!

I'll check this myself. In the meantime do this:

disable the cronjob (remove the line with HandleBackupRequestsJob from /etc/crontab)
issue the backup using the browser
sudo -u www-data /path/to/wikidot/bin/job.sh HandleBackupRequestsJob

You'll see what's the error.

Remember this is the same code in wikidot.com and wikidot.org. Since site backups are fairly intensive, they're done offline via a cron job as Piotr explains.

You could configure this to run every 5 seconds without any performance hit, which would give you near-instant backups.

Right, we need to set up the cronjobs…

The backup is queued to be done and then every minute there is a cron job run, that checks if there are some backup tasks pending and performs them.

See wikidot/files/crontab file and if it makes sense, append it to the /etc/crontab file. You need to change the user in each line. Just replace www-data with user you run wikidot as.

I raised a bug on this: 17.
