If you want to get rid of this message
> Using a password on the command line interface can be insecure.
You can create a `.my.cnf` file in home directory with the following config
```
[client]
host=localhost
user=[your-db-user]
password=[your-db-pass]
```
And use option `--use-mysql-config` as
```
./wp-backup.sh --backup-db --use-mysql-config --src-dir=/path/to/wp/root --dest-dir=/path/to/destination
```
### To backup code only
```
./wp-backup.sh --backup-code --skip-uploads --src-dir=/path/to/wp/root --dest-dir=/path/to/destination
```
- You can omit `--skip-uploads` option if you want to include `wp-content/uploads` folder in backup archive
### To backup code + database
```
./wp-backup.sh --backup-db --backup-code --skip-uploads --src-dir=/path/to/wp/root --dest-dir=/path/to/destination
```
*You can omit `--src-dir` option if you are running the script as system-wide command from root folder of wordpress*
### To schedule backup via Cron
If you want to schedule via Cron, just add the following line in your Crontab entry `crontab -e`
```
0 0 * * * /path/to/wp-backup.sh --backup-db --backup-code --use-mysql-config --skip-uploads --src-dir=/path/to/wp/root --dest-dir=/path/to/destination > /dev/null 2>&1
```
`0 0 * * *` expression means the command will run run at every midnight.
