Regularly scheduled commands can be specified according to instructions found in crontab files in the directory /var/spool/cron/crontabs. Users can submit their own crontab file using the crontab(1) command. Commands that are to be executed only once may be submitted using the at command.

An attribute of a class schedule, this type of backup collects all files that have changed since the last successful full backup. All files are backed up if no prior backup has been done. See also differential-incremental backup.
