Backups happen without Schedule, and mailed twice

    I have iTS in use on a number of sites, and always the same:

    • Backups are activated so I can do manual ones when I want; but “Enable Scheduled Database Backups” is NOT ticked. Despite my clear wish, it still performs Backups about once a week. I REALLY hate this “I’m going to do what I think you need and not what you say” sort of behaviour!
    • Said backups are mailed to me – always twice to the same address. That’s also a real drag. I have Backup Method “Email only” selected, and at “Global Settings” there “Send digest email” is ticked and both “Notification Email” and “Backup Delivery Email” have the same Email address – on the assumption that these are two differnet functions, not synonyms for the same function.

    I would really appreciate fixes in these areas – thanks!

    @dwinden Could you publish them here for the help of everyone looking for a solution?

    Notwithstanding, I would be glad of a fix in iTS so that it does what it should do according to GUI settings, that would be the best for all users. But I’m glad to implement a workaround if a fix does not happern soon.

    Not only without schedule, but every 4minutes from 3pm yesterday until 9am this morning when my host basically said….ok, that enough, you have no more disk space.

    That’s a totally different issue with a root cause which is specific for your env.

    I’m still monitoring the mails coming in from about 20 WP sites where I modified the settings of iTS as you suggested. My first impression is that still too many mails / backups are being generated, but I need to observe that over the next few days.

    I really think that the plugin authors should do a better job in this area. Notwithstanding, I will mark this as resolved, as you suggest.

    Cheers, Tim
