They're stored in the /var/spool/cron/crontabs directory if you're using Vixie Cron, which is the default in Debian. Other crond's might use a different location.
The best way to back up your crontab is with
crontab -l > crontab.backup
. It can then be restored withcrontab crontab.backup
. When you do it this way, it's checked for syntax errors and permissions are checked so that only users who are allowed to run cronjobs can do so.Thank you
