Hello, where would I be able to find the crontab file for the daily backups? Our server is backing up just a couple hours too early, and its running during our peak hours.

Thanks.

Where can I find a list of vaild code to input into the cron file for the server to preform crons? I would like to create a cron that reboots our server on a weekly or even at a minimum of monthly basis. Any help is appreciated!

What the cronjob setting does is run a program or script. You would need a script to reboot, then set a cronjob to run it when you want it done. I think /scripts/reboot might be what you want but you may want to wait until we get a reply to verify or correct this first.
If I'm correct about the script, this would give you a weekly reboot every Sunday at 5:30am.
30 5 * * 0 /scripts/reboot
