Problems after a backup restore related to this plugin

Hello,

I had serious problems restoring some WordPress sites and today I’ve found out the problem. Let me try to explain the issue that I was facing:

I have some (updated) WordPress sites hosted on my server, one time that I was working on one of them, I needed to restore a backup from a previous day, that normally restores the site to a working version, but after the restore the site didn’t work as expected.

For example, I did some tests and tried to disable 3 plugins that were always enabled in previous backups. Then, I did a cpanel backup restore from the previous day I noticed that the plugins were still disabled in my wp-admin!

In another test, I disabled all the plugins from my WordPress site, and after, I tried to do a cPanel backup restore from an older date, March 17, it was supposed to have my plugins active again but it didn’t, because in that backup restore from March 17 had all the plugins disabled… and on that day, March 17, I only had one or two plugins disabled, not all of them. I had this issue happening in 3 accounts on the same server. This made me think that the backup restore was not working fine.

After more tests today, I found out the guilty that was causing this issue. The problem was in the Redis Object Cache plugin, after I flushed the cache everything returned to normal. I’m thinking if is a good idea to uninstall the plugin, uninstall totally from the server or if I need to create a cronjob to flush every x days. I don’t know if this was a normal behavior.

What do you suggest?

Thank you in advance.
