Description

I set the plan to 3 - 5 o'clock in the morning, but the cms made the backup this afternoon (1400~, 2pm). That's a bit awful, because the maintenance mode is active during the backup and users got kicked and couldn't work during this (short) period. The cronjob is active and works without any problems.

Research direction

No file or test is named. Start by tracing the backup app's cronjob and time-schedule handling, then reproduce a plan configured for 3–5 AM. Done means the backup runs within the configured window, preserves maintenance-mode behavior, and has a regression test for the schedule.
