yes, but this doesnt choose to backup on the last day of the month. i wish cron could do a: 0 13 * * lastday command instead i did a script 0 13 * * * if [ `date +%d -d tomorrow` = 01 ]; then /././BackupPC_dump -f host; fi
that if is saying if tomorrow's date is the first, then today is the last day of the month so do a full backup. would it be better to use BackupPC_serverMesg rather than BackupPC_dump -f ?
