System Backup x2

[Mark_S]

Minute = 0
Hour=5
Day of Month=6
Day of Week=0

I have a cron set as above via ADMIN system Backups.

But i get 2 every month?
Ive even tried updating the setting, to a different day but i get
a second backup 7 days later from what ever is set?

These are FTP to my local machine the back ups.
So if i get a Back up on the 6th i get another on the 11th
Then i tried the 8th and got a second on the 15th.

I'm not too sure where or what to check to remove a "Cling on" that
hasnt been cleared.

Any help ?

It's because you've specified 2 day requirements.

The day of the month must be the 6th, and the day of the week must be a sunday. That combination does not happen every month.

If you want it on the 6th of every month, then set * for the day of week, and * for the month.

If you're getting *more* backups than you're expecting, check for other backup crons you've got that may also be doing backups in a seperate cronjob.
