Bug Description
I've scheduled my backups so that they are performed between 2 and 3 o' clock at night.
Now tonight we (CET) to summertime. So we move one hour forward and skip the hour between 2 and 3.
Cron doesn't know about this and therefor did not run my backup cronjobs this night.
I don't know if this is fixeable in cron or that some other solution must be
sought.
