Yes, it has to run to expire old backups and release the space they used.

If I were doing it (and cared about down-to-the-second scheduling), I'd 
leave most things at the defaults and set
$Conf{FullPeriod} and $Conf{IncrPeriod} to times that will never be 
reached as long as the cron-initiated runs happen when you expect.  I'm 
not sure there is good locking between scheduled runs and ServerMesg 
jobs so be sure you allow enough time for your jobs to complete and 
reset the scheduler's timer.
