    Creating a Cron file

    Hey everyone, I was hoping someone can help me create a Cron file. I've tried reading through my Linux book but I am just lost here. I need to create a Cron file that will perform a Level 0 backup once per month, a Level 2 dump one day per week, and a Level 5 dump every day that neither a level 0 nor a level 2 dump is performed. Thanks for any help, it is greatly appreciated.

    You can set up a cron job by running:
    Code:
    crontab -e
    You will need to create a script that will run all those backups you need.

    I have a quesiton though. What do you mean by:
    Level 0 backup
    Level 2 dump
    Level 5 dump
