KaTeker Jobs

is a Alpha version of a dialog supporting the Jobs setup

The daily backup can be done by cron. That is your crond daemon has to run when the daily backup shall take place. The crond daemon is started on Linux systems normally.

The daily backup will send an E-mail reporting the result of the backup job. This E-mail is not send by KaTeker but by the cron daemon. If you don't get an E-mail, your mail system can be erroneous or you have to tell cron where to send the E-mail. Read the man pages of crontab, crontab(5) and cron. Run

   crontab -e

and insert or modify the lines

   MAILTO=user@address

To run KaTeker periodically insert

  20 23 * * 1,2,3,4,5,6,7 /usr/local/bin/backup_system update_onto CDRW

For details read the man page of crontab.

If you use CDR it is expected that a new CDR is inserted into the CDR recorder. The CDRW should be defined flexible. For details read the man page of crontab.

Using periodical update onto CDRW requires that the CDR recorder loads an ejected CD automatically. This is supported by almost all CD recorders but those on Notebooks. That is periodical update onto CDRW will not work on notebooks.
