Where does my user crontab get stored? I have to reconstruct it each time I reinstall the system, so I thought I should add it to my backup.

As the user concerned do su -c 'crontab -u USER -l > /home/USER/some_folder/some_file_name' and to restore do su -c 'crontab -u USER < /home/USER/some_folder/some_file_name'
You could write a small script to dump each user's crontab in some hidden folder his/her homedir - Gertjan Lettink, a.k.a. Knurpht
