I want to run nightly backups, using rdiff-backup. I want the backups to
go to one disk drive, Backup1, Monday thru Saturday and a different disk
drive, Backup2, on Sunday. I used Kcron to enter the crontab data
running as root. Here's what crontab looks like if I run crontab -l
after logging in as su -:
Earth-svr:~ # crontab -l
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE - edit the master and reinstall.
# (/root/.kde4/tmp-Earth-svr/kcronh31359.tmp installed on Sun Dec 16

# (Cron version V5.0 -- $Id: crontab.c,v 1.12 2004/01/23 18:56:42

I'm no expert on cron but the crontab looks okay to me. Does anyone see
anything wrong with crontab? Do you see anything that might cause the
scheduled cron jobs not to run? Any assistance appreciated.
