Not backing up with "Repeatedly(anacron)" set

[sderrick]

Mint 19.3
BIT 1.1.12

BIT is not backing up. If I manually initiate a backup with the "take snapshot" button it runs fine. Prior to updating to Mint 19.3, I was on 17.x, BIT ran fine.

I looked in /.local/share/backintime/anacron and found a file that was 5 years old. contents were 20150411

I am using a tempfs system for /var/log /var/tmp and /var/spool to prolong the life of my SSD drive. I'm not sure if that may effect BIT. I have a script that creates folders for various programs that expect their temp folder to persist.

Here are the only entries that mention "backintime" after starting my machine. I Don't see any errors.
