Hi there,

we are using scripts for the initial setup of our PVE systems. Is it possible to setup backup jobs by shell command? The only way I'm currently found is to modify /etc/pve/vzdump.cron and add the jobs. I'm not sure if this is a valid way to do that because there is a note that this file should not be edited manually.

Thanks & Best Regards
Martin
