setting backup time?

[briansol]

Hello,

my cpbackup runs at about 1am EST. I'd like to move this to a later time (5 am est) as that is the most "slow" time for my site.

I can't seem to find an option to change this anywhere.

Anyone know if this is possible?

Thanks

Quick answer, edit the cron job directly.

when on shell as root, type :

crontab -e

and then edit the timing for "/scripts/cpbackup".

ctr+x or whatever to save and close.
