I'm sorry to jump in here, but I'm really curious about how you tell the
diference between the job never running and it Just Working (tm)?
I don't know about you, but particularly in the case of backup i'm very
interested in making sure it worked successfully.
It strikes me that this 'no news is good news' policy creats a single point of
failure (cron).
Cron provides you with a mechanism for running jobs on some regular
interval, and will helpfully pass along any output from your job via
email. That's it.
It's up to you to think about what kind of notification you need. It's
UNIX' job to provide the tools, it's your job to provide the brains.
And keep your fingers away from the band-saw...
