The thing is, Anacron only runs if you boot after the scheduled job is supposed to run
out of cron. It shouldn’t run twice. So maybe you have your backups scheduled in more
than one place?
I should be extra clear here - Anacron is what runs the cron.daily (and weekly, monthly)
jobs. They just will also run shortly after boot on the hour if you boot later in the
day. Disabling Anacron will break the cron.daily, cron.weekly, cron.monthly jobs.
So there’s no way they’d run twice unless you have it in more than one scheduling
service/location.
