Is it possibly to set the tape backup feature to do weekly backups? On SmeServer 6.0.1.

Haven't done it myself but I believe that you can my friend. I use backup2ws then use my desktop to burn to DVD for backups and that does me fine.
May I point you in the direction of the manual http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/contribs/bobk/down-loads/sme-manual.pdf (http://mirror.contribs.org/smeserver/contribs/bobk/down-loads/sme-manual.pdf). Not trying to be funny or even cheeky but most questions are answered here. I find that the best way to find these things out though is to tinker, have play around and see what works best.
Hope this helps,
Arthur

Instead of nightly? Yes, but it'll take a custom template for /etc/cron.d/backup to change the schedule. Or you could just not put a tape in most days and ignore the failure messages.

Would it be enough to change /etc/cron.d/backup?

Is there any command to be run after saving changes in the file to reload the cronjob?
