+## Enhanced Crontab System Migration
+
+### System Status
+
+The crontab system has been migrated from a universal `crontab.txt` to system-specific files:
+
+- **crontab-europa.txt** - Media server configuration
+- **crontab-io.txt** - Download/acquisition server configuration  
+- **crontab-racknerd.txt** - Backup server configuration
+
+### Legacy File Status
+
+The original `crontab.txt` has been:
+
+- **Backed up** to `crontab.txt.bak`
+- **Role**: Previously served as fallback, now obsolete
+- **Content**: Contains mixed configuration that was split into system-specific files
+
+### Current Management
+
+Use the system-specific approach:
+
+```bash
+# Install system-specific crontab
+./manage-enhanced-crontab.sh install
+
+# The script automatically detects hostname and uses appropriate file
+# europa -> crontab-europa.txt
+# io -> crontab-io.txt  
+# racknerd -> crontab-racknerd.txt
+```
+
+### Fallback Behavior
+
+If a system-specific file is missing, the management script will:
+
+1. **Warning**: Display that system-specific file is not found
+2. **Recommendation**: Create appropriate system-specific file
+
+### Creating New System Files
+
+For new systems, create system-specific files based on the templates:
+
+```bash
+# Copy and customize for new system
+cp crontab-europa.txt crontab-newsystem.txt
+# Edit for system-specific tasks
+```
+
+### Benefits of System-Specific Approach
+
+- **Clear separation** of concerns between systems
+- **Reduced conflicts** from universal configurations
+- **System-appropriate** task scheduling
+- **Better maintenance** and troubleshooting
+- **Scalable** for additional systems
