What's the filename for the Crontab on Unix/Linux??

Does anyone know what are the crontab filename is on the Unix/Linux machine? Once I know what it is then I can search for it, I'm hoping to make a backup of that crontab file so I don't have to remember what's the default setting I use. I can simply look at it adn make one on a different machine in case something happen to the original machine.

Thanks...

The files are usually in this directory:

/var/spool/cron/crontabs

Yea, you're right. I didn't understand it at first but now I understand that those files are just a textfile with the list of all of hte setting.

Thanks...
