Continuation of issue 1721 #1744

Hello everyone, I apologize for going silent for so long. I haven't had a chance to respond and since the issue is closed, I would like to re-open this issue since I am still having this issue of implementing the auto back up.

Here is a link to the original issue: https://github.com/bit-team/backintime/issues/1721

Per the feedback, I have checked the following locations and noted their outputs below:

/etc/crontab

` /etc/crontab: system-wide crontab Unlike any other crontab you don't have to run the crontab command to install the new version when you edit this file and files in /etc/cron.d. These files also have username fields, that none of the other crontabs do.

SHELL=/bin/sh You can also override PATH, but by default, newer versions inherit it from the environment PATH=/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin

Example of job definition: .---------------- minute (0 - 59) .------------- hour (0 - 23) .---------- day of month (1 - 31) .------- month (1 - 12) OR jan,feb,mar,apr ... .---- day of week (0 - 6) (Sunday=0 or 7) OR sun,mon,tue,wed,thu,fri,sat

/var/spool/cron/crontabs/

Empty

/etc/cron.d/

Empty

Output from crontab -l

` Back In Time system entry, this will be edited by the gui: Please don't delete these two lines, or all custom backintime entries will be deleted next time you call the gui options!
