I imagine in the Linux world backing up and restoring scheduled tasks would look something like this:
- Make a copy of the files related to cron (like crontab)
- [something happenes to your scheduled tasks]
- Replace damaged files related to cron with your copies.
Am I right? Is it truly that simple?
At least with Windows Server, I've found that copying the contents of c:\windows\system32\tasks then transplanting the contents into the same folder for a test server, doesn't cut it. As I'll need to go through an import setp to get stuff setup in the Task Scheduler.

I laugh a bit about how I'd have far less head-against-the-wall beatings if we were a Linux shop. -

Depends on the type of file, but generally yes.

That's even complex compared to our way using Salt

Reason 12689376 to hate Symantec.
Update to the network definitions last night causes users computer to BSOD when launching one of our applications.
Why are you letting them run SEP to start with?
Not my network. This client, we only write custom billing software for.

@DustinB3403 Bears climb trees really well so best not to think about it and just go for the gusto
@MattSpeller as the resident Canadian has near daily encounters with bears.
Black bears are no big deal, it's the brown ones that poop out pepper scented bells
Actually going to hunt a black bear this weekend - by which I mean we are going fishing and if we see a bear we'll take the opportunity.

Is that legal up there, to just kill a bear? If you happen across one.

In NY you just crash into them on the road.

With a hunting license, appropriate tag etc absolutely.
https://wildsafebc.com/black-bear/
BC boasts one of the highest populations of black bears in the world with their numbers being somewhere between 120 and 150 thousand animals. Pretty much all of BC is considered “bear country” with bears inhabiting everything from the coastal forests, through to the interior grasslands. From north to south and east to west in this province you’ll have a chance to see black bears.

That isn't the same as going out fishing, and then you happen to shoot a bear.

You can legally shoot a bear in NY. They've become quite common around here but I think it is still just one bear per hunter.
