 * Just got Updraft setup on a few sits and it seems to work well, but I’ve run 
   into an odd problem that doesn’t appear to have an apparent solution.
 * The first time I setup Updraft to save DBs and Plugins to S3, clicked Backup 
   Now, and it did so perfectly, and did so again the next day at the same time.
   A few days later I made some changes to the Updraft settings, and manually clicked
   the Backup Now button to initiate the backup, did a check and it worked fine 
   again.
 * However, Updraft now backs up files twice a day. Once at the time used on the
   original setting. And once again at the time of the second Backup Now initiation.
 * How can I get rid of the first backup time setting?

 * Hi,
 * Could you install a plugin called [WP-Crontrol](https://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-crontrol/)?
   This will allow you to see all scheduled tasks that WordPress is handling.
    Then
   could you navigate to Tools->Cron Events, and send a screenshot of that page?
 * How are your backup schedule settings configured?

 * I see multiple Updraft events in WP Control. One scheduled for early evening (
   the last update to settings, as expected), and another scheduled in a couple 
   of hours (the original settings).
 * Would it be safer and easier to deactivate and delete Updraft, then re-install
   with the proper settings?
 * And, thanks for the heads up on WP Control. Great utility.

 * Hi,
 * You should be able to delete the UpdraftPlus events via WP Crontrol.
    After doing
   so, go back to your UpdraftPlus settings and re-save them. This should generate
   new CRON events (One for files and one for the database).
 * Does this fix the issue?

 * You might want to confirm that there are multiple UD events _of the same name_.
   It’s normal to see two events in there – one for files, one for DB.

 * I deleted all. Then deleted Updraft. Then installed Updraft and setup Settings
   at a better time. A nice feature requisition would be an option to schedule the
   backups at a specific time; day, date, time.
