Plesk is creating Backups even when Schedule Backup Setting is deactivated.

[Paula1]

Hi there,

My Plesk is creating Backups even when Schedule Backup Setting is deactivated.

It started after the upgrade from #35 to #36.
I'm running Centos 6.6 with Plesk 12.0.18 #39 and the problem is still there.

More Info:

• In the Backup Manager there are not Current Backup Tasks
  
• The Server Repository is not listing the backups,

However I could find the backups (not xml) in

/var/lib/psa/dumps/domains/mydomain.com

The files were like this one:

backup_mydomain.com_user-data_1503312312.tgz

and the sizes were approximately 5GB (the size of the whole server and content)

My Question:

How can I find and stop the services or processes that are responsible for creating those files?

Thanks in advance.

Are you sure that this backup has been created recently and periodically? Have you checked all cron tasks? What about useful info from backup logs?

 

[Paula1]

Yes. The backups have been created recently. Here are the las two files created yesterday and before yesterday.

backup_mydomain.com_user-data_1504012312.tgz (5GB file size)
backup_mydomain.com_user-data_1504022312.tgz (5GB file size)

I went to
/usr/local/psa/PMM/logs/

and I found many directories, one of them is "backup-2015-04-02-23-12-02-628" which corresponds to the file that I listed above of these lines.
The backup.log starts with:

After I can see the list of all the domains' databases and statistics and finish with:

There are not any task related to backup in my cron jobs.

I will appreciate any help,

Thanks!

 

[IgorG]

Do you have any records in BackupsScheduled table of psa database?

 

[Paula1]

Yes, I have two records.

What should I do?

Thanks in advance.

 

[IgorG]

Try to set "active" to "false" for second record and check result.

 

[Paula1]

Thank You.
That solved my problem!
