 By default, Little Backup Box is configured to back up storage cards. To make the script transfer files directly from the connected camera, run the `crontab -e` command on Raspberry Pi. Comment the following line by prepending *#* to it:
 
-    @reboot sudo /home/pi/little-backup-box/backup.sh > /home/pi/little-backup-box.log
+    @reboot sudo /home/pi/little-backup-box/backup.sh
 
 Uncomment then the line below by removing *#*:
 
-    #@reboot sudo /home/pi/little-backup-box/gphoto-backup.sh > /home/pi/gphoto-backup.log
+    #@reboot sudo /home/pi/little-backup-box/gphoto-backup.sh
 
 Save the changes.
