Plesk Backup Manager unstopable?

Hi,

i have a problem with the plesk backup manager. The backup manager scripts are running 24 hours a day, resulting in 90% - 95% CPU load, infinitely. Maybe this is caused by local backups and too little hdd space (over 90% in use).

In the meanwhile I changed the configuration for all web hosting backups and I restarted the server. All backups now should be done between 23:00 an 01:00 clock and will be copied to a ftp backup space. Also I cleared lots of hdd space (about 55% in use).

Unfortunately, the CPU load ist at maximum again, even though there should not run any backup script at the moment. Killing the perl or gzip processes doesn't help at all. There are new processes immediately.
The only way I could stop the heavy CPU load was to rename /usr/bin/perl and /bin/gzip. So the Backup Manager couldn't find that applications anymore. Now the CPU load is at 10% to 30%.

Here are some informations about the unstopable tasks / processes (the perl task allready used my new ftp backup space configuration, but should not start before 23:00 clock):

3786 ? S 0:00 /usr/bin/perl /opt/psa/admin/bin/plesk_agent_manager domains-id --owner-uid=e95a7d14-30a2-4cc9-8c46-2967719b83ec --dump-rotation=3 --session-path=/opt/psa/PMM/sessions/2011-10-26-132410.279 --output-file=ftp://[email protected]/ 18
