      Test #1

      1. Go to Settings > Site administration > Courses > Backup > Automated backup setup
      2. Enable it, and schedule it for the same weekday than today only, at 17:00 (if today's Wednesday, only tick Wednesday)
      3. Run the cron and look for 'complete - next execution: ...'
      4. Make sure the date is not set for tomorrow, but for a week later

      (If cron does not output 'complete - next execution...' set 'nextstarttime' to 0 for one row in mdl_backup_courses)

      Test #2

      1. Go to Settings > Site administration > Courses > Backup > Automated backup setup
      2. Enable it. Set weekdays to (Mon, Tue, Wed, Thu, Fri) at 17:00
      3. Enable your PHPUnit environment and run `phpunit lib/tests/backup_test.php`
      4. Make sure the test passes
      5. Go back to the automated backup settings and make sure they didn't change

    Description

      We've selected so that automated backup executes every Tuesday and Friday at 11pm. For some reason it executes on Tuesday, Wednesday, Friday, and Saturday at 11pm, or basically it's executing on the next day where it's scheduled as well.

      The config in the database appears to be correct. Meaning the backup_auto_weekdays is set to 0010010 and te time is set to 23.

      I will post what I suspect to be the problem below.
