hi there, i am new to these forums, and i have to do an assignment for linux, and im having some troubles. i must set up a cronjob that creates an archive of:
1) a user's home directory
2) all files/folders owned by that user from the /var directory

the cronjob has to occur at the end of the month between 12:00 AM and 5:00 AM.
i think i may have an idea of how to set up a cronjob, but im confused as to setting up a cronjob that will also archive files, and to know which files/folders to archive which belong to the user in /var. if anyone can help me out, this would be greatly appreciated! thanks!
