The problem is most likely not coming from spatie/laravel-backup package. To run Laravels cronjob you need to a have a central call in your crontab to Laravels scheduler

* * * * * cd /path-to-your-project && php artisan schedule:run

You can also check all the scheduled tasks locally by running

$ php artisan schedule:work

and if they run fine locally then there is an issue with your server, but not with Laravel.

Also always have a look at storage/logs/laravel.log if there are any errors showing up.
