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 root 19673 0.0 0.0 227904 2248 ? S 12:29 0:00 sed 1i\ /etc/cron.weekly/backup.cron:\ root 19683 0.0 0.0 227752 2276 ? S 12:30 0:00 grep -i backup root 19684 0.0 0.0 238028 5352 ? S 12:30 0:00 mail -s Backup root@localhost.localdomain and at thz end backup ended at Sat Jun 22 02:55:58 PM CEST 2024 /dev/sda10, /dev/sdb8 and /dev/sdc6 OK 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 root 29788 0.0 0.0 227904 2176 ? S 14:55 0:00 sed 1i\ /etc/cron.weekly/backup.cron.saved:\ root 29798 0.0 0.0 227752 2208 ?

This machine is turned on and off usually on a daily basis, but not necessary.
