1. Intro

PTS constructed a unique built in crontab system to ensure that selected programs back up in full confidence. Users are now able to backup their programs through use of PTS's CronTab Backups in a constructive and effective manner. Be aware that this is only for GDrive & GCE Users; not local editions!

2. Solo CronJob Option

NOTE: Only when One App Installs

When installing one application, the interface is simple to work with because your only being asked one time in what to do based on the application that your deploying! Either select yes or no.

3. Mass CronJob Options

NOTE: Requires 2 or More Apps to Install

Below the picture, we will describe what each choice selection results in.

a. No - Skip All Cron Jobs

Results in all cron jobs being skipped for all programs pending installation. Useful for users who do not care about backing up their programs.

b. Manual - Select for Each App

Results in the user being able to set the conditional backups for each app in queue. Useful for users who care about only backing up particular apps.

c. Daily - Select Random Times

Each pending program will backup every single day at a given random hour and minute of the day. Useful for users who care for a daily backups for the pending programs, but save time by not having to select granular options listed under the manual method.

d. Daily - Select Random Times

Each pending program will backup at a random day of the week with a given random hour and minute of the day. Most ideal for users who care about at least having their pending programs backup once a week, but save time by not having to select granular options as listed under the manual method.

4. Summary

PTS Cron's goal is to ensure that the user is able to sleep knowing that their data is being backed up as requested!
