Good, it seems that (during the update?), a backup.cron.saved has been created. I guess that I can just moved to backup.cron_saved
The Cron daemon will not modify those files, and that’s not the naming suffix that RPM updates will create, which would only happen if the file was a package anyway. You had to have created that file. Perhaps you forgot?
Also, renaming it to yet another suffix will not stop it from running along side the backup.cron. You need to remove it from the directory to get it to stop executing a second cron job.
