[SOLVED] silly cron question

lleb · 08-03-2012, 09:58 AM

how can i include the contents of my crontab into a backup run from a users $HOME directory? in other words i use cron to schedule backups (typically rsync) between server, i would also like to backup the cron entries so i dont have to rebuild them if the Live server goes down.

thanks.

What about adding this at the beginning of your backup script:

Code:

crontab -l > cron_backup
