what I did is

1) delete /backup.tar.gz
2) removed the line if [-s /opt/backup_restore]; then ..... from /opt/powerdown.sh
3) removed the line hda1 from /opt/.backup_device

it seems it works but is there a better way of doing this???

obviously I do not understand what the backup is for and how should be used (yet)

You can add "norestore" to your boot line instead of #1, and if you did #2 there's no need to do #3 and vice versa. It's all the same, though.
Personally I deleted /opt/.backup_device and use "norestore".

If the backup/restore process takes forever, you might want to look at what it's backing up....could be a lot more than necessary.
