</div></div>Edit the file ~/.mythtv/backuprc for the user running the job to<br>
include: DBBackupDirectory=/media/storage2/mythtv/Dropbox<br>
to set the location.<br>
On the cron part I'm not exactly sure since I use fcron. But if I'm<br>
right your backup script is in /etc/cron.weekly. Moving it to<br>
/etc/cron.daily should make it daily.<br>
