    Well, you need to create a backup script. Either based on the snippet that @Alfred Bühler posted here, or, for example, as described in the admin manual, and name it something like hub-snapshot.sh.
    
    Then you just need to create a cron job for it. So
    
    crontab -E
    
    
    and enter the following line, for example
    
    0 2 * * * /path/to/hub-snapshot.sh >> /var/log/hub-snapshot.log 2>&1
    
    (for a daily backup at 2 am).
    
    You can also use https://crontab-generator.org/ to generate the correct cron job.

        @𝓒𝓱𝓻𝓲𝓼 There's an intro to crontabs and scheduling tasks here: https://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/Guide_to_Unix/Explanations/Scheduling_Jobs
        
        The FreeBSD Handbook also has a decent section on scheduling and cron here: https://docs.freebsd.org/en/books/handbook/config/#cron-periodic
        
        (The periodic system I believe is particular to FreeBSD.)
        
        While there's no need to be an expert to host a Hubzilla server, a bit of basic unix knowledge is very useful :)
