backupedge 02.01.04 upgrade to 02.01.05 on OSR507 can clear root's crontab

Hi,

Just thought I'd get this up here in case somebody else does it and
doesn't notice the problem right away.
System: OSR507 w/ MP3
I just ran the "Check for Update" feature using Microlite's BackupEDGE
(02.01.04), and there was a new update available (02.01.05). I
installed it, and during the install it asks you if you want to
schedule any full backups. I said no, but wanted to verify that my
previously scheduled jobs were still going to work, I ran "crontab
-e"(for root), and found that it was empty.

:(

Fortunately I have good backups and could restore root's crontab.

:)

Microlite is working on reproducing the problem, but I thought I'd
share to save someone from getting high-blood pressure.

Kevin
