[PLUG] Question on Backintime backup program and "boot/reboot" option

[Richard England]

Yes, I have crontab set up to start the backup early in the morning and 
it works. I was investigating setting the "boot/reboot" option to backup 
system type directories that might change after an update or change in 
configuration that require a reboot.

Thanks for the response.
