Cron

I am new to this and trying to get a handle on CRON. I understand that it is a task scheduler, my question is can I use this to do a weekly backup of my website and how do I do this?

I also noticed that my host has CRON on the admin control panel, it is a point and click to set up the day/month etc, then it has a blank for the command I want to run, the problem is I don't know what command to put in there.

I would also like to run a command to delete backups that are over 1 month old if possible.

Also as a newbie are there any other tasks I should consider automating with CRON.

also can anyone point me to a good website describing these things in not too technospeak.

thanks
