Make a script, p.e. backup.cron and put it somewhere
------->
cd /
date
find etc -print >work
find usr -print >>work
find var -print >>work
find home -print >>work
cat work |sort| cpio -oBc >/dev/st0 && echo "backup succesfull";date
---------<
This could also be something like
find . -print |sort| cpio -oBc >/dev/st0 && echo "backup succesfull";date

put in crontab: (crontab -e)
05 07 * * 1-5 /usr/sbin/backup.cron >>/logfile.cron 2>&1

which will take the backup 5 min after 7 am
