so the root of my problem, but need some help with the solution please.
when the USB Backup Job runs (triggered by Anacron script or plugging the drive in), i end up with a number of files for each job i have configured. i.e.
/run/rsync-46c1ebd3-0f54-4ffa-afa7-6fdcb192ebee
When i do a shutdown or reboot, these files are still there upon reboot.
When triggering the USB backup job, it doesn't run because the rsync file is in the /run directory.
If i delete the rsync files from the run directory, the USB Backup job then runs fine.
