re: I would still get down to one a day till you get through an initial run.
I'll give that a go next week
re: Ok, so cron is running almost exactly two hours following the scheduled tasks.
Server scheduled auto course backup running every hour at the 50th minute. Backups start on the 50th minute and end at the 50th minute than restart 2 hours later at the 50th minute.
re: Occasionally, a problem with one course will stall out the run too.
Wouldn't that result in irregular stop times rather than this 50th minute pattern of run terminations? Reports->Backups also indicates that the course on the 50th minute results in an 'Unfinished' status too.
