    i have the backupwordpress in several sites.

    I change the domain name of my sites from one company to a other, then the server company did make the DNS configuration. Can be that the reason why in 2 multisite installations from one domain name i get that problem

    BackUpWordPress ha detectado un problema. wp-cron.php is returning a 301 Moved Permanently response which could mean cron jobs aren’t getting fired properly. BackUpWordPress relies on wp-cron to run scheduled backups. See the FAQ for more details.

    Also i can not do manual backups.

    reading te faq, i did that (following line) and the message disappear, but i can not make the backups anyway.
    * Try adding define( 'ALTERNATE_WP_CRON', true ); to your wp-config.php, do automatic backups work?

    looks like we fix it.

    In case anybody else has this same problem:

    I was getting this same message. The site was using CloudFlare and flexible SSL. I had added a page rule like this to force the site to use SSL:

    https://*example.com/*
 Always use https

    The fix for me was adding a new rule with a higher priority to allow access to wp-cron.php over non-SSL connections (I think that somehow the site isn’t quite configured properly for SSL, and BackUpWordPress’s requests were being made using HTTP instead of HTTPS):

    *example.com/wp-cron.php*
SSL: Off

    This fixed the issue, and I didn’t need to add define( 'ALTERNATE_WP_CRON', true ); to the wp-config.php.

    If you are having similar trouble, do check if you can actually access example.com/wp-cron.php, in my case my browser told me that it wasn’t redirecting properly. After adding that second page rule in Cloudflare, I was able to access wp-cron.php on my site.
