Hi Baz, Thanks for elaborating - I did understand your links and have a look at the cron service and backup scripts. I dont want to use the cron service as it is a dependency and given I'll not be online much soon, I want to minimise dependencies, however running that script without redirecting and losing $this->data illuded me.
However out of interest I've now added your solution as well as mine - a monthly zipped backup (remote-chron doesn't do less), as well as every 6 months, my solution, which I think is also perfectly reliable, more nicely formatted, but 4 times the size (not zipped), and delays a user action once every 6 months. If either fail I have the other. Thanks for making this so simple for me Chris --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Cake PHP" group.
