  • I don't think it is clear from the comments that OP wants to run it as root, in fact I'd say it is clear from his description that he has tested the script as user sgaddis it sits in directory /home/sgaddis/ and the output should end up in /home/sgaddis/backup, so if ever there's a case for user sgaddis to use crontab -e to edit their crontab entry, this is it!
