Doing one's own rsync and cron scripts
Hi, As, IMHO, the Ultra's GUI interface is appalling, it does not give me the backup versatility I want wth rsync and cron jobs. (Ducking the flames) Is there anything that would cause Frontview...
Should be fine. Create your own file in /etc/cron.d that points to your own script. You can look at /etc/cron/frontview-backup and see it uses cron entries and a vague idea of what layout you'd need to use in your cron file.
You won't obviously get the benefits of viewing and configuring jobs in Frontview or Frontview's email alerts about backup jobs and you won't get help with this from tech support.
May I ask what versatility that you're after is Frontview missing in regards to rsync and cron jobs?
