nokia made some choices for IPSO, and they didn't choose simplicity for the config.

the crontab is set via /config/active.
you have a /etc/crontab root crontab file.
this file calls 4 other files :
/etc/hourly
/etc/daily
/etc/weekly
/etc/monthly
and (I suppose) the cron entry for the scheduled backup is in one of those files when you st the scheduled backup option.
that's why the crontab -l won't even show you the backup.
I also guess the crontab refers to /var/cron/tabs directory and not to /etc/crontab (don't ask me why).

Simple. /var/ is about the only place not mounted in RO mode.
