I installed Timeshift on 1 of my laptops, but when it runs it says it needs \*crontab to be installed.  
There is no crontab in pacman. I tried yay, but nada. Where do I get it from?

The package is called cronie. And then you would need to enable the service iirc:  
`sudo systemctl enable --now cronie.service`
