Scheduled backups / collectinfo.pl "already running"

I scheduled my automatic backups to run daily at midnight, however every day at 12:06 AM I get an email from virtualmin informing me that collectinfo.pl is "already running".

I am aware that this is caused by the scheduled backups not being finished yet when collectinfo.pl starts up at 12:06AM. What exactly does collectinfo.pl do, and is it safe to perhaps have it not run between midnight and midnight:30?
