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

Hello,
I have a backup launched by cron.weekly However, since F40, after it has run a first time and ended, another backup is started. This messed up the backup.
When starting, the first crond sent (ps -aux | grep -i backup | mail -s Backup root@localhost.localdomain) root 19672 0.0 0.0 228476 3136 ? S 12:29 0:00 /bin/sh /etc/cron.weekly/backup.cron
[snip]
and the second one
root 29787 0.0 0.0 228476 3260 ? S 14:55 0:00 /bin/sh /etc/cron.weekly/backup.cron.saved
If you run:
ls -la /etc/cron.weekly/
I think you will find a "regular" and a ".saved" copy of your cron script.
