I have a shell script that I can run with root user this way:

root@vivid-15:~# ./backup.sh

It’s on /root/backup.sh. Now, how do I schedule it on crontab to execute every day at 01:00 AM? I done this:

0 1 * * * root

But now I don’t know how to proceed the command to do that.

    Edit: changed the 13 (1pm) back to 1 (1am).
