Hello,

As root, I accidentally ran crontab -r instead of -e, and lost all my cronjobs.

Is there a way to recreate the cronjobs?

Thank you!

An easy way to get them backup is setting up a new virtual machine and install iRedMail.

I was hoping to avoid that, and just get the paths of the backup scripts to manually recreate the crontab.


Thanks again Mr. Zhang, I'll install a VM now.

This is not full tasks. for example, it doesn't have tasks to run backup scripts.
