Most admins have a text file somewhere with the contents of the crontab. Specially because these things happen more often than it should.

- laumars 11y agoIndeed. I do generally keep backups of crontabs, not just in case of this kind of scenario but also in case the platform blows up in any unexpected ways. Sadly the company in question didn't. However I have since made it a personal policy to always -l before editing so I have a "backup" in my tmux scroll back (that time I mentioned before, it was pure chance that I had -l)
