While looking through the MythTV backend setup, I came across a setting
to disable automatic database backups.  I have seen this setting in
MythTV 0.24, 0.25, and 0.26.

Use the following steps to locate this setting:

1)  Start MythTV Backend Setup.  In Mythbuntu the menu option is:

   Applications --> System --> Mythtv Backup Setup

2)  Choose "1. General" settings

3)  Navigate to the "Miscellaneous Settings" screen.  On MythTV 0.24 you
need to use the "Next" button twice.

      On this screen near the bottom is a setting called:

      [ ] Disable automatic database backup

4)  If you change this setting, be sure to navigate to the end using the
"Next" button and then finally "Finish" to ensure the setting is saved.

Hope that helps.  :-)

Title:
  no way to disable database backup

Status in “mythtv” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  In /etc/cron.weekly/mythtv-database there is:

  /usr/share/mythtv/mythconverg_backup.pl

  Which ends up producing an error:

  ERROR: DBBackupDirectory not specified, stopped at /usr/share/mythtv/mythconverg_backup.pl line 856.
  run-parts: /etc/cron.weekly/mythtv-database exited with return code 255

  if a database backup directory is not specified anywhere.  But in my
  case, I don't specify one because I have an independent database dump
  and backup process attached to my nightly backups so having
  /etc/cron.weekly/mythtv-database do it is redundant.  Yet there is no
  way for me, as a user/admin/operator to opt to disable this backup and
  instead I just get these error messages in my e-mail every week.

  There really ought to be a way for me to prefer to not have the MythTV
  package itself do a backup if I know it's being done elsewhere.
