 * Hi,
 * Backupwordpress is running a second schedule of database and complete backups.
   There is a second backupwordpress-folder loaded with daily schedules and with
   names of one of my subdomains.
    In the settings there’s nothing to find about
   this schedule. It’s also a problem because the site is way too big to do a complete
   backup. I think it is since updating to 3.0.2. Now I have 3.0.4 and I have uninstalled
   everything and do a reinstall. The problem still exists. It looks like the problem
   described here: [https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multisite-installation-questions?replies=2](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/multisite-installation-questions?replies=2)
 * How can we stop this second schedule?
 * Thanks,
    Christoffel

 * Hey Christoffel,
 * Thanks for getting in touch,
 * Could you try deleting all your existing schedules and re-creating them?
 * Also if you could enable support ([https://bwp.hmn.md/support-center/enable-support/](https://bwp.hmn.md/support-center/enable-support/))
   and let us know how you get on through there that would be great,
 * Cheers,

 * Hi Owain,
 * Thanks. I enabled the support.
    Tried to delete existing schedule (database weekly),
   but after that two schedules pop up (database daily and complete weekly). I can
   delete on of them, but after I try to delete the second, both pop up again.
 * I have to wait to see which backups are really scheduling.
 * Thank,

 * Hi Owain,
 * The problem still exist. Baackupwordpress is making a daily database and a weekly
   complete backup, without being seen in the menu. Like it’s not deleted.
 * Thanks,

 * I have a similar problem – it started with 3.0.4. I noticed it straight away 
   as all of a sudden I started to to get emails to an old email address of mine
   that a backup had run.
 * After some invesigation I have found that there is schedule information in tables
   wp_options and wp_2_options, the unwanted schedule (I looked for the old email
   address) information is in wp_2_options but all the schedule information that
   one can manage through wordpress is in wp_options. It is almost as if wp_2_options
   was once used but the current version is looking in both tables and thus resurrecting
   the old data.

 * Thanks Stewart,
 * I removed five rows in the wp_2_options starting with hmbkp_ and there is no 
   extra backup schedule running anymore.

 * Hey guys,
 * Awesome to see you got to the bottom of this. I’ll look into trying to reproduce
   this issue on a multisite site install, for some potential enhancements.
 * If you guys run into any other issues please don’t forget to enable support from
   the BackUpWordPress page.
 * Cheers!

 * Hi,
 * The unwanted backups are reappearing again!
 * After I deleted the rows in the wp_2_options starting with hmbkp_, I also deleted
   the cron events staring with hmbkp_ with the WP Control plugin.
 * Still the backups from the subdomain are reappearing. But now in the same folder
   as the main backups.
 * Anybody an idea how the subdomain backups to stop?
 * Thanks,
    Christoffel
