Public bug reported: In /etc/cron.weekly/mythtv-database there is:
/usr/share/mythtv/mythconverg_backup.pl Which ends up producing an error: ERROR: DBBackupDirectory not specified, stopped at /usr/share/mythtv/mythconverg_backup.pl line 856. run-parts: /etc/cron.weekly/mythtv-database exited with return code 255 if a database backup directory is not specified anywhere. But in my case, I don't specify one because I have an independent database dump and backup process attached to my nightly backups so having /etc/cron.weekly/mythtv-database do it is redundant. Yet there is no way for me, as a user/admin/operator to opt to disable this backup and instead I just get these error messages in my e-mail every week. There really ought to be a way for me to prefer to not have the MythTV package itself do a backup if I know it's being done elsewhere.
