yes, but that is so.... I lack the right word ;). I think, the
semantically right way to do it is to set the state of the task to
'Cancelled' or 'Stopped' or something like that. But that doesn't
work as long as the repeater is > 0. That's the reason why I want to
backup the value of the scheduled property and later restore it.
