Hello,
I want to setup a cron job for my system backup.

In DA 1.31.0 there is "Admin Backup RC1" for this option.

I do a complete user backup in my dir /home/admin/admin_backups... for
I do a weekly cron job for this backup using DA utils for set it.

Well, in case of backup, overwrite DA the old backup file? Can I do for this?

PS: Sorry for my english!! :p

From the shell determine the owner of the backup. Then create a cronjob as that owner, to rename the backup. We do something like this on our backup server; we save two iterations. So before each backup we execute a cronjob to

delete backup.2
mv backup.1 backup.2
mv backup backup.1
