would create a daily backup of your userdata folder in a tarball at 15 minutes after midnight everyday. I copied a bit of this code from another site, and it's 2:15 am where I'm at, so I might have a bit of it wrong. Hopefully someone will fix my screwup.
Does this archive backups or overwrite the old backup, as if it overwrites the old backup and you do it every day and something goes wrong with the database you can end up with a backup of a corrupt database
