multiple backups

[tjonger]

How can i set multiple backups for eatch singel user?

like this:
day1 = Backup A
day2 = backup B
day3 = Backup A Overwrite
day4 = Backup B Overwrite
day5 = Backup A Overwrite
day6 = Backup B Overwrite
etc.

i think its not so easy to tell... you should modify the backup software... but you can do backups every two days.. for example.. just modifying the cron tab... (i think)

Oke, so if i run this command to view all crontabs of all users, he said that there are no crontabs set.
So were can i change the backups cron jobs?

Code:

for user in $(cut -f1 -d: /etc/passwd); do echo $user; crontab -u $user -l; done

Output:
