Want to set cron job for wordpress (Backwpup plugin)

This is my first contact with cron jobs, so I’m sorry if my question sounds dumb.

BackWPup is for making a back up automatically after some period of time, but its own cron job does not work correctly. It starts only when I sign into wp-admin. So I decided to use the server’s cron jobs, but I don’t know how to. It says:

If you would use the cron job of your hoster you must point it to the
url: http://example.com/wp-cron.php

  1. I guess you should add the command 

    wget http://example.com/wp-cron.php >> /path/to/my/wp-cron.log 2>&1

    to the crontab. Of course you can use any other CLI http-tool instead of wget, but it’s the most simple I know and I think is sufficient here.

    Call

    crontab -e

    then add a line like

    0 * * * * wget http://example.com/wp-cron.php >> /path/to/my/wp-cron.log 2>&1

    This will call this command every hour. For further information see man crontab.
