Dear Maria
you can also run a shell command from Java.
It should be enough (although I haven't tried) to create a simple opencms chronjob that does something like:
Runtime.getRuntime().exec( "/path/to/backup_script.sh" );
Of course the script "/path/to/backup_script.sh" needs to have read and execute-Permission for the Tomcat user.
The shell script you would probably have to start with a line like
#!/usr/bin/bash
so that the correct program will be used to execute it.
If that does not work for you then you would have to dig out call the normal opencms export functionality from your own opencms-chronjob class.
