Support » Fixing WordPress » Site backing up 3-4 times every day, can’t make it stop

  • I tried telling Total Upkeep to stop scheduled backups because I had it set to weekly and my site has been stuck virutually on an endless backup cycle, each one taking like 7 hours. The backups are back-to-back and are killing my site’s bandwidth.

    I set it to “no schedule” and was warned no backup would happen. Then it backed up 4 times the next day. I deleted Total Upkeep yesterday, deactivated and deleted it entirely. And it has backed up 3 times already since.

    The backup files are so huge they’re shutting my server down, overloading it.

    HOW DO I MAKE WP STOP BACKING UP?
