What's wrong with anacron?

I have my backup script listed in anacrontab and never have 
to even think about it: anacron runs before I retire, or if I 
retire earlier, then the first thing in the morning.

And you don't have to bother with configuring BOTH crontab 
AND anacrontab, like you used to have to. What could be 
easier and more convenient?

I like this new setup.
