Agreed. This happened for both the BLU and me. Actually in my case it was interesting. First, I forgot to reset my crontab when I had previously had upgraded the OS. But, even worse, I was backing up using tar on a 32-bit system and the backup picked up a virtual Machine. I could recover all the data before the VM but not after it. With the BLU, we had added some additional security on the logins because we were seeing increased attacks. However, this also prevented the backups from working, but without a notifier we were not aware that it was not actually performing the task.
