Description

I had automated backups scheduled daily at 04:00 for a while. Last week I changed the schedule to a weekly backup at 01:00, but somehow it's still backing up daily on it's previous schedule.

Docker environment variable setup:

Files in the backups/ directory:

Are there any other settings or caches I have to change or delete? I'm running it on a Synology with the Docker package. I also have AWS_BACKUPS enabled if that makes any difference.

Research direction

Start by tracing how the Docker environment variables control the automated backup schedule and how the backups/ directory reflects that schedule. Check whether AWS_BACKUPS changes this behavior; done means changing from daily at 04:00 to weekly at 01:00 updates the active schedule without requiring unexplained cache or file deletion.
