I don't want to turn backups off, but remove the send email part.

Thank you.

Append "> /dev/null" (without quotes) to backup command in root user's cron job. If no output generated, cron daemon will not send an email to root user.

I don't see a backup command, only cleanup.  I looked before I posted this.

Can you tell me which job specifically?  Most of the those go to null already.
