Hello
Today I was checking one of my virtual servers, because the disk was always full. I found out, that the server creates backups every day. It stores backups on the /public_html/wp_content/updraft/ . I checked the cron, but it didn’t have any schedulers, even on the web of Webmin, there is no backup configured, but backups are still created every day, and I can’t find whats generating the backups.
Any thouhgts?
Thanks!
something you have added after install - not on anything I have so what have you added
To me it looks like there onece was installed wp, and the backup was created with something called updraft, but wp doesn’t opens up in a browser, and updraft also looks like its been removed.
In backup there is a backup of the database, and something called others, uploads, themes, plugins.
Are you (did you once?) install/using Wordpress. The wp_ sounds like some of the nonsense that gets delivered by Wordpress themes/plugins/old versions 
I am also assuming you are actually using Virtualmin not Webmin as indicated by the topic group/system info.
That has nothing to do with Webmin or Virtualmin. That would never be where we’d store backups. Literally never. That’d be an insane thing to do.
I assume you have installed this plugin: UpdraftPlus: WP Backup & Migration Plugin – WordPress plugin | WordPress.org
Which is, shockingly, a backup and migration tool for WordPress.
Yes, with 3+ million installations and /wp-content/updraft is shockingly their default backup directory.
@luka1 By the way, with the upcoming version of WP Workbench, you won’t need any PHP plugins to create fancy backups inside of web-root. Virtualmin can do it for you locally or upload to a remote cloud like Dropbox or S3, on schedule or manually.
