Double daily backups

    Hello,

    Starting about 15 days ago, I see that the full backup is performed twice a day. Can’t understand why. Right now I delete manually the oldest of the two daily backup for space reason (as you can see in the capture screen here below), but I suspect that there is somethig strange in this behavior.

    Of course I can send the logfile of both the two latest backup (just please tell me where to send them)

    Many thanks in advance for any help and best regards,

    Orangedam

    Hi,

    It sounds like you may have duplicate schedule, can you do the following;

    In your hosting , go to Site Tools->Site->MySQL->phpMyAdmin, open your database

    Search the database for any table named wp_options’ (your prefix may be different

    In the table, select ‘Search’ and enter the following: 

    Column name: ‘option_name’ 

    Operator: ‘LIKE %…%’ 

    Value: ‘updraft’

    This will bring up all UpdraftPlus options in the table. Delete these rows

    In the same table, Search for rows with the option_name = ‘cron’. Delete them

    This should remove any extra schedules from your DB

    Can you then set up your schedule again?

    Hello Vupdraft,

    First of all, thank you for the fast answers!

    Just a couple of questions before altering my database: most of the “updraft” recurrencies (the total is 473) are “updraft_lock_nnnnnnn”, but several of them looks like settings definition. Is it correct to delete all of them?

    Looking instead for “cron” recurrencies, none of them looks like (by the name/description) related to updraft (but some other plugins are listed, like Matomo): Is it correct in this case too to delete all?

    Again thanks!

    Hi,

    First of all, with any DB modification, please make sure you have a backup first!

    Can you wipe all of your settings in the Advanced tools tab and then deinstall and remove the plugin Then remove any left over tables via the above instructions.

    Only delete the items related to Updraft.

    Download and install a fresh copy of the plugin (when you install the plugin again, it will create all of the tables it needs)

    Done all as suggested (previous backup, uninstalled plugin, wiped tables), but still perform twice daily backups. Probably there is still something somewhere in the tables which causes this behavior (maybe not containing “updraft” in the name?). What about updating the plugin so that the removal really does all the cleaning job?
