    I've setup ongoing backup for several RasPBX systems in the past without issue. Working on a current setup, though, and when I go to write the edits to crontab I'm get "File Name to Write: /tmp/conrtab.l6fbn7/crontab" . I'm used to being able to just hit enter at this point and save the edits. Instead, underneatht there are a bunch of options for things like, DOS Format, Mac Format, Append, Prepend, etc. I'm not used to these options and am a bit stuck. Any help would be appreciated.

    Maybe you just selected the wrong editor when editing the crontab for the first time. Just call

    select-editor
    

    And choose your editor, maybe you want to use nano. Then run crontab -e again.
