The same message appeared when we started the backup procedure on timetable.

Database backup failed : An error was detected in the new Cron configuration :


crontab 4.4
crontab file [-u user] replace crontab from file

crontab -l [-u user] list crontab
crontab -e [-u user] edit crontab
crontab -d [-u user] delete crontab
crontab -c dir specify crontab directory

# If you don't want the output of a cron job mailed to you, you have to direct
# any output to /dev/null. We'll do this here since these jobs should run
# properly on a newly installed system, but if they don't the average newbie
# might get quite perplexed about getting strange mail every 5 minutes. :^)
#
# Run the hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly cron jobs.
# Jobs that need different timing may be entered into the crontab as before,
# but most really don't need greater granularity than this. If the exact
# times of the hourly, daily, weekly, and monthly cron jobs do not suit your
# needs, feel free to adjust them.
#
# Run hourly cron jobs at 47 minutes after the hour:
47 * * * * /usr/bin/run-parts /etc/cron.hourly 1> /dev/null
#
# Run daily cron jobs at 4:40 every day:
40 4 * * * /usr/bin/run-parts /etc/cron.daily 1> /dev/null
#
# Run weekly cron jobs at 4:30 on the first day of the week:
30 4 * * 0 /usr/bin/run-parts /etc/cron.weekly 1> /dev/null
#
# Run monthly cron jobs at 4:20 on the first day of the month:

I believe you are referring to setting a cronjob through webmin, which has a bug.
You need to alter module config and remove USER.
Use 'crontab -e" or alternative edit /var/spool/cron/crontabs/$USER .
and add "0 0 * * * /etc/webmin/mysql/backup.pl --all" or any other commend.
You can alternative use a script placed in /etc/cron.daily /etc/cron.hourly.
