3-Read About Cron and Crontab, to automate the backup Script
Cron is an effective and popular command-line utility used to schedule tasks at a specified time and day without user interaction.
The scheduled tasks are known as cron jobs while the crontab is the list of the file containing the cron jobs.
Crontab is useful to perform various operations such as handling automated backups, rotating log files, syncing files between remote machines and clearing out temporary folders, etc.
The crond daemon is the background service that enables cron functionality.
