Doc Text:
This update prevents Relax and Recover (ReaR) from automatically creating an unrequested backup. Previously, ReaR automatically created the cron file /etc/cron.d/rear, which ran a backup at 1:30 AM. This update prevents the automatic creation of the cron job.

Description Juan Larriba 2021-01-22 10:17:41 UTC 
As stated in bug 1911535, ReaR rpm installation creates an /etc/cron.d/rear file automatically. This cron programming runs a backup at 1:30 in the morning, and it is generally a non desired behaviour.
