Yes, I have crontab set up to start the backup early in the morning and
it works. I was investigating setting the "boot/reboot" option to backup
system type directories that might change after an update or change in
configuration that require a reboot.
Thanks for the response.

Richard,
I use dirvish, not backintime, yet adding the command to your crontab
(since
you backup only your home directory) will have it run at the same time
each
day, even after a reboot.
HTH,
