Issue 'var' folder taking up too much space

lukegalea16

New Pleskian
Ever since I started using Plesk I had around 4Gb of Used space but now it has increased to around 16Gb - taking up all my hard disk space. I noticed that the folder 'var' is taking up 9Gb of space for example. My databases and hosted files don't seem to be taking up too much space. Can anyone help please?

var/lib/psa/dumps is taking up 5Gb at least!
 
If you have plesk backup task... it's normal that your space use increase, if you don't need these backup, you should stop these task.

I have a backup manager which makes incremental backups however in Backup Manager I only see a few Mbs being used.
Apart from the default Backup Manager I never configured anything.
  1. Can you help me check if I have an ongoing backup task?
  2. How can I check which log files I can delete and which dumps I can delete?
    1. Dumps are the same as Backup Manager backups or ?
