Description of my issue:

Hi,
For some odd reason, Akeeba Backup is telling me a backup is required even though I have a command-line backup working. For some reason though, even when my host said they removed the cronJob, it is still running every minute... really confused. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

Hi Nicholas,
Really appreciate the quick response. The hosting environment I'm currently with doesn't have cPanel access (I know I know...) so they had to add it via SSH (which I'm not as familiar with). It looks like the reason it was showing "Backup Required" in the back-end was because they had set the CRON to run every 2 minutes for testing and I'm sure Akeeba just never caught up with the amount of processes or something (because as one was running another one was starting to process as well) so all in all, nothing to do with Akeeba Backup and just user error on the host part. They switched it to once a day as it should be and I'll just be waiting to see if that triggers, but earlier tests proved successful.

Thanks again for developing Akeeba Backup (and Admin Tools for that matter)!

Oh - you probably won't have to do deal with this as much anymore, but I wonder if there is a way to tell a user if they install a version of Akeeba Backup that is 3.3 or higher (that currently have the Lazy Cron enabled) that they should disable it or something. Just a thought that might save some time for users that run into that.
