Hallo Hannes
"man 5 crontab" is your friend ;-)

But, when I add the script in cron to start it at 1am at night it
takes 7 - 9 hours and I see up to 180 processes. When I look in top I
see a hight load of 60 - 80 and 40 - 60 waits. Why? Can someone
explain why it takes so long when it starts with cron?
This is my rsync command: rsync -azc --delete "$QUELLORDNER"
"$ZIELORDNER"
This is the entry in cron (crontab -e): * 2 * * *
/root/backupscript/backup.sh
Data to sync: 18 Gb, 185.000 files.
wrong crontab entry: every minute you start a new rsync process ...
crontab syntax:|*1 2 3 4 5 command*
field allowed values
----- --------------
1 minute 0-59
2 hour 0-23
3 day of month 1-31
4 month 1-12 (or names, see below)
5 day of week 0-7 (0 or 7 is Sun, or use names)
command = command to be run
Good luck
