Backup: Health check - Unchecking does not stop health checks

[PieterWaegeman]

In the backup schedule, when I enable "Health check", the next backup the health check runs. If I disable the option, the next backup the health check still runs.

To reproduce

1. Make a backup job.
2. Enable 'Health check" in the schedule.
3. Run backup, wait for the backup to complete.
4. Disable "Health check".
5. Next backup, the health check is still performed while the option box is not checked. And no way to disable it.

Expected behavior
No health checks anymore when the box is not checked.

Environment (please provide the following information):

• xo-server: 5.104.0
• xo-web: 5.105.0
• hypervisor: XCP-ng 8.2.1, latest patches to date

Changing the backup configuration will only impact the next run, not the current one.

It's very unlikely we'll change this behavior as it's not compatible with the current architecture and I believe the result would be surprising for users.

Yes. I know. The next run, the health checks are also performed while the option is disabled.
I already did 4 backup runs with the disabled option, but every time the health checks still run.

That sounds like a bug indeed, we'll investigate 🙂
