+## Local Development
+
+When working with backend-tasks you may run into your task not running as expected if you are using a persistent database. A table called "backstage_backend_tasks\_\_tasks" in the applicable plugin's database will contain a record with the next run date and time. You can delete this record to get things back to what you expect
