solved possible odd issue with db/backup manager?

i enabled it back in january then disabled it in feb
recently backups have been beii ng created on disk using 100% of drive and shutting sites down

system backuos in cron are set for only monthly now because we can't find where these backups are coming from.

plesk backup manager has nothing at all

even though cron job backup (which backs it up off the server, but does use drive space before moving files off server) is set to back it up monthly, the drive fills up and shuts down the database daily (or close to it)
i re-enabled the module, then disabled the backup options, and am deleting the hourly backups from jan/feb
then will disable and delete module

my suspicion is (lacking any other options i can find) is that the modules continuing to do backups despite being disabled
and since i never got amazon web services to work right its creating them on disk?

i know its highly doubtful but just cannot figure out any other possible cause of these backup files

You need to disable Hourly database backups in the global config if you do not have the disk space to hold them.

they had put the ssd where the sata belonged and vice versa
so media was on ssd .. duh

ssd solid state drive they do not spin so data access times ae about 100 tikmes faster then spinning drives but are very expensive still
sata is just a typical hard drive architechture you can get 4 terabytes cheaper then 400 gigabytes on ssd
so because dreadlockssites massive and 90% of that data is media i have the sites caches ad databases on ssd and 2 tb for media on sata i just mounted that drive at /data/media
that way i can upload vids photos and music unlimitedly without driving up the cost
vids and music are very rarely accessed so dont need a super fast drive
images as soon as they are accesed are copied to cache on the ssd so are seved as fast as possible.

unfortunately they did it backwards at 1st now i'll have an even faster server with double the space for media and another 10 years growth before needing to add more
i actualy have 4 tb sata and 4 tb external backup but i am using 2 tb internal as backup as well untill i need it

jut know ssd means up to 100 times faster acess to data from disk
sata means huge cheap storage

Yeah i know, I had to replace one of each this week in my desktop after some aging disk failures. Fun times!
10 years from now?... we'll all be using completely different types of storage and computers and all our current 'hard drive' methods will be obsolete anyway.
