readynas 104: system backup ?

Hello guys,
Great answers. I now made two backup scripts. One for weekly backups and one for backups every 2 months. I will also include the suggested clean up command.
Right now i make backups with crontab to a shared folder. From there i can do additional backups to an external drive.
My backup scripts are stored in that shared too so they are backuped to the external drive too.
But if i have to factory reset my crontabs will get lost. How can i manage this? File link to the crontab file (if there is one?)?
