I would like to backup certain items from my website (MySQL, etc) to my Powerbook on a weekly basis. Normally I could use cron but my laptop has to be on at the time for it to work properly.

I knew about anacron, and found this hint. Anacron will let me schedule backups and also takes care of running the periodic crons that come standard on OS X, which probably have never run for me in the past.
