Edit, pause, or terminate a backup schedule

After you create Auto Backup, the active routine appears under Saved Schedule at the bottom of MigraSync → WP Backup.

Only one auto schedule is allowed per site. To replace it entirely, terminate the current schedule first, then save a new one.

View your schedule

1. Open MigraSync → WP Backup.
2. Scroll to Saved Schedule (tab next to Recent Backup Jobs).
3. Review Frequency, Trigger Time (local site time), Scope, Destinations, and Status.

If a schedule exists, the wizard shows Schedule locked — “Only one auto schedule is allowed per site to prevent conflicting runs.” Use Edit schedule or View saved schedule from there.

Edit an existing schedule

1. On Saved Schedule, click Edit (or Edit schedule in the wizard).
2. In Edit Saved Schedule, update:
   • What to include (database, media, plugins, themes)
   • Backup frequency (daily / weekly / monthly — plan may limit daily)
   • Trigger time (site local timezone)
   • Auto purge policy retention
3. Click Update Schedule.

Tip: Backup frequency cannot exceed your retention window — e.g. a monthly purge policy may not pair with daily backups on some plans.

Terminate (pause) automated backups

To stop all future scheduled runs:

1. Click Terminate on the saved schedule row.
2. Confirm Terminate Backup Schedule? — future automated backups stop until you save a new schedule.
3. Check the consent box and click Terminate Schedule.

Existing completed backups in Recent Backup Jobs remain until purged or expired by retention.

Create a new schedule after terminate

1. Terminate the old schedule (above).
2. In the wizard, choose Auto Backup and walk through all steps again.
3. Save — you should see Schedule saved and an Active row under Saved Schedule.
