systemd timers don't have permissions to start after a reboot on CentOS #10

This seems to be some sort of permissions issue. Running sudo systemctl start backup-<database>.timer and sudo systemctl start optimize-<database>.timer, and then authorizing with a password after each, seems to get everything working properly again.

The timers somehow need to be given permission to start after a reboot.

A couple of issues need to be addressed:

  1. The services need to be enabled, not just started.
  2. The units don't need to be unmasked.

11 fixes this. It has been tested and is working well in production.
