This is not a valid SQL statement based on my knowledge of SQL.  The reason
is DAYS is an INTEGER DECIMAL(15,0).  Cannot use a floating to achieve what
you are trying to do.

The actual way to do this is:
where (backup_end <current_timestamp - 1 hours)

There are all kinds of modifiers that you can use on the integers to make
them work in date duration calculations.  These are standard SQL
capabilites.
