Hello,

I tried to modify a schedule backup module by which you can create a backup by schedule period. However, my ability is limited, some of features do not work properly.

I need someone help me to test and fix this module!

I would recommend to use your host panel to initiate cron jobs rather than creating / using a module. Could you provide more information on the use of a module for chronologic tasks?

For example, VQMod does not work on index files!
And why VQMod and not OCMod??

That analogy used to be true, although no longer necessary to specifically work on the index files with Opencart v2.2.0.0 by rather using VQMod or OCMod since most of the codes have been divided into the controller/startup , admin/controller/startup and the system/framework.php file.

As for VQMod and not OCMod ... it would simply be a matter of choice ...

VQMod (and therefore OCMod) were never be able to modify index files (from the beginning).
Shame, because there are some - rare - situations where it could be useful.
And because of this, with a work-around it will work also.

And VQMod or OCMod: simple, because if the shopsystem is 2.x. VQMod is not needed anymore.
And why installing a 'useless' additional system/module/extension??

would it not just be simpler, to let Users decide on such as using VqMod or OcMod only ?!

Partially tested only, but since I found out, how simple it would be to add OcMod to v.1.5.6.x,
I figured, that it must be similar simple, to switch off OcMod, without removing anything else,
by JUST not starting it, in the first place...

just figured...

It's quite simple; Opencart recommends not to edit core files out-of-the-box. Letting users to decide is understandable but without providing the whys to it wouldn't be simpler due to the results that could be in caused, afterwards; especially upon upgrades.
