Multiple of the same emails (e.g. Database Backup) at once

    Hi?–

    I have iThemes Security set up to send me emails for Database Backups and also for File Change Warning. Anytime an email is sent, it’s apparently sent at least twice, often three times, within a minute or so.

    Is this a known bug? Or can I address it somehow?

    Thanks,
    Chris

    Hi there,

    i have a similar issue. My webspace ran out of free space caused by database backups made almost every minute (even with 50GB space caus backup has ~200MB each).

    my configs for database backup:
    method: email
    backups to retain: 2
    compress: yes
    schedule: yes
    interval: 1 day

    i configured to send only by mail, but all backups were kept for months (in folder /wp-content/uploads/ithemes-security/backups). same behavior also when i changed method to “both” and “only local”. i additionally checked for running wp-cron (Plugin: WP Crontrol) but i wasnt able to find the right cron. and there was no one with that short interval!

    so assume there are 2 issues:
    1. too frequent runs of backup
    2. no delete of old backups (permission on backups folder is: 751)

    i uninstalled the plugin and installed back again, now it seems that its working well.
    (Also i checked other sites, no problem there…)

    best regards,
    martin
