Hello,

first time OpenBSD user here. I came from 20 years of linux, then 6
years of freebsd, and finally arrived at OpenBSD, thank you guys for
doing such a great job. It just feels right, feels like home!

While checking about how to backup the system correctly, and what
files I need to recover my system and checked the altroot strategy,
which is executed from the daily script which is started via cron.

I checked my cron log and there are no executions of daily, weekly,
etc. I only see newsyslog jobs being executed. Right, I put my laptop
to sleep or turn it off most of the time when I am done working.

So how to deal with this correctly? Change the hours to run the
backups during the day? Is there a way to tell cron to run jobs it
missed? (Reading the man pages, I did not see that there would be ...)

How do you guys schedule these tasks (also cleanup tasks to clean out
/tmp etc. on your laptops?

Thank you,
Best regards
Rai
