Hi,

No it is not working.

I copied the code in the backup.sh file and put into /etc/cron.hourly
-------------------------------------------
#!/bin/sh

target=$HOME/org/backupOrg
mkdir -p "$target" && \
        find "$HOME" -type f -name '*.org' ! -path "$target/*" \
        -exec cp -t "$target" {} +

echo "Daily Org Files Backup Successful: $(date)" >>
/home/USERNAME/mybackupOrg.log
-------------------------------------------
And then changed the crontab hourly setting to 26.

/etc/crontab
# m h dom mon dow user    command
26 *    * * *    root    cd / && run-parts --report /etc/cron.hourly
-------------------------------------------

Even after 26th minute, there is no sign of the code in work. Is it that
$HOME is not allowed and I need to give full path ?

Thanks
