You could tell a bit more about your installation and the packages
you've installed before.
The mail you've quoted mentions "Fusion Linux Version 15" in its subject
line, but you claim you've upgraded from Fedora 15. "Fusion Linux" is
fusionlinux.org, a remix of Fedora with merged add-on packages, probably
from RPM Fusion.
In a terminal, "yum list extras" would list all installed RPM packages not
found in your configured and enabled repositories. Try that first.
Perhaps fwbackups is installed as a package. If not, it may be that you've
installed it manually. Then you need to invest some time, track it down,
and erase/uninstall it manually again. You may need to look at your
crontab files, global ones as well as your user's ones, because the
mail you refer to is about a Cron job from Cron Daemon.
Cool thanks I am still in the process of researching this, I'll keep
you posted as to how this goes for me....
