I think it would make more sense to move this upstream, don't you think? But it can be done non-intrusively, simply by turning things around: right now, cron gets run regularly, and the backupninja stuff specifies the time. If we can somehow set the backupninja time to 'now' or 'every minute' or 'always', then we can get cron to invoke backupninja at a specific (randomised) point in time. > As always, patches are welcome, as it's pretty unlikely anyone in > the current backupninja dev team will have time to implement this.
