Actually, it doesn't. And finding and changing a scheduled UNIX task
is surprisingly easy.
If you are using OS X 10.4 or later, you aren't looking for a cron
job. You are looking for a LaunchDaemon. If there is one for
SuperDuper!, it is a plain text file located in this folder, which,
unlike the CronTab folder, isn't even invisible:
/System/Library/LaunchDaemons/
You will need a true text editor to read and modify these files
(TextEdit won't do as it won't save the file in plain text format)
such as Tex-Edit Plus or BBEdit.
