If you changed the schedule of a site backup job, the service OMD <site> backup <job> showed the old schedule until the job ran again. For example, if you enabled a disabled schedule again, the service stayed WARN with "Schedule is currently disabled". If you disabled the schedule, changed the job to manual execution, or moved the next run to a later time, the service could go CRIT with "Next run".

Now Checkmk updates the next run of the job when you save the job in Setup > Maintenance > Backups. The service shows the new next run after the next check. You no longer have to start the job manually to correct the service.

If the service already shows a wrong state after the update, save the backup job once.
