Marko,
as Eska wrote, there are the Scheduled Jobs in OpenCms which work more
or less like a cron job. You can start a Java-Class (implementing the
I_CmsScheduledJob) interface like a cron job.
There are several pre-defined jobs in OpenCms already, but none for
doing a backup so far.
Kind regards,
Michael
