Hi John.

The utility lacks the capability to list current backup 
schedules, but you can configure multiple sets to run at 
whatever intervals you wish. The best way to see what you 
have is to get in and view /etc/cron.daily, cron.weekly, 
cron.monthly, depending on your backup increment. There 
you will see the backup scripts for users/sites... 

example:
scheduled-backup.admin
or 
scheduled-backup.www.foo.com

The Cobalt backup/restore utility has so much potential to 
be great.. if only they would put more effort toward developing 
further functionality into it. If any Cobalt peeps are reading, 
are there any further plans to expand and improve this utility? 
I guess we'll see.

Take care.
