# Cron Question

 * I have not set any schedule, as I prefer to do backups manually.
 * However, when I view the WordPress cron, I see the following :
 * hmbkp_schedule_hook {“id”:”default-2″} 2013/06/07 16:00:00 (8 hours 3 minutes)
   604800 (1 week)
 * I cannot delete it, it still comes back on its own.
 * I have deleted Backupwordpress and reinstalled it, still the same.
 * What code can I edit so it does not create this cron job ?
 * * What’s unusual is that on my other WordPress installation where I also use 
   Backupwordpress, there is no such cron job.
 * Thanks

 * Ok, great. In the meantime, I just commented out the scheduler at schedule.php,
   and deleted the cron job using Crontrol (it’s finally gone)
