    Hi,

    We backup by FTP to our own server, however recently the website got taken down by the hosting company because the web space had been filled up. It turned out that the Updraft folder in the WordPress files had a large number of backups, even though it is only set to go to our server by ftp. How is it possible that its going to both? Thanks!

    Hi,

    If possible, please could you send us a copy of the most recent backup log?
    This can be found in the ‘wp-content/updraft’ directory of the site, or through the Existing Backups tab.

    The contents will be too long to post here directly, but you can post the contents to an online service such as Pastebin, and post the link here.

    I’m here trying to find a solution to what sounds like a very similar problem. I’ve got backups set to go to Dropbox, but they have also been saving to the webserver. Taking a look at it, it kinda seems like only the database is being sent to Dropbox, but the plugins, themes, and uploads are all being stored locally.

    I see that there is a “delete local backup” setting that should prevent this from happening if checked, but it looks to already be enabled.

    What ended up being the resolution to OP’s problem? Hoping it can fix my problem as well.
