Hello,

Whe have a problem with one server.
Whe have enabled the system backup 4 times per week at 2 o,clock in the night.

But the server will make everday a backup of the system at 7 o,clock in de morning.

I think that there are two lines somewhere in the cron thats make a system backup.
Where can i find these cron?

What can be the problem on this server?
 
You should check the /var/spool/cron/root file. If there's an unwanted cronjob there, then you should run the crontab command to remove it:
Code:
# crontab -e
If not, then check the /etc/crontab file. To remove it there, use any editor, and then restart the cron daemon:
Code:
# service restart crond
If not, then check the /etc/cron.daily directory. If it's in any of those files, either remove the file or edit it as necessary. If you remove a file you don't need to restart crontab, but if you edit it, then you should restart crond as above.
