It's unlikely you'll need to cron backups as the config files seldom change. Once you set up you node and back it up, you'll only need to subsequently backup as you make changes to your config. 

The node number you show 1415 is a private node number. The back up script cannot login in with that node number. You must use a registered node and it's issued password to use the backup server. However, if you have a registered node on that server and you set your backup configuration file to use that node, the backup script will back all nodes (including private ones) on that server. 

The file name you have chosen for you backup configuration will not work. The name must be savenode.conf. I refer you to the backup documentation on our WiKi at https://wiki.allstarlink.org/wiki/Backup

If you're not all that hot about using the Linux command line, or you don't have a public node, you can simply copy all the files in /etc/asterisk to a safe place on your hard drive with winscp. That makes a perfectly adequate backup of your node(s). Also be sure to look at the asl-menu built into ASL 1.01.

OK if I understand correctly.
I use WINSCP and in etc / asterisk
I created a new file using the right clik
thereafter I past the info into this file which I added… 
NODE=1415
PASSWORD=club
ENABLE=1
"And save"

Now how can I do it with Cron job?
always with WINSCP I'm going to the var / spool / cron files
now how do I do the automatic execution of the backup?


Thank you for your help to you all
