 * I have the same issue as described here:
 * [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/next-scheduled-backup-time-is-always-incorrect/](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/next-scheduled-backup-time-is-always-incorrect/)
 * I set the backup time to 2 hours but it shows an interval of over 12 hours
 * When I install the Wp-Control plugin as in the post suggested it shows that it
   should run every two hours but the next run is in 12 hours and 54min.
 * What can I do?

 * Well, that was a quick solve, I tinkered around with the cron and forced the 
   next run in a minute, after that the correct “next run” timing was shown. But
   still it’s a bug in the plugin because next run should change automatically.

 * Hi,
 * Do you still get the same issue after running a successful backup?
 * Thanks,

 * [@bcrodua](https://wordpress.org/support/users/bcrodua/) Hi,
 * no, now the correct time is shown (in one hour). But I still had to manually 
   force the cronjob to execute earlier, not sure if this would have fixed itself
   when waiting one day for the time shown in the plugin.

 * But wait, I just changed the backup time to 8 hours (in the plugin).
 * My current local time is 13:24, next backup is listed for 02:24 (tomorrow).
   That
   would actually be 13 hours from now, not 8.
 * The correct time for the next backup should be 21:24…
