How to prevent EFA to make automatic backups

[maxkmv]

Hello Community,

Does anyone know how to prevent EFA to automatically backup into /var/EFA/backup folder ? The backups are eating 4-8 Gb of disk space and on my miniature 30 Gb. VM it is just way too much of precious disk space. Unfortunately I am not too knowledgeable or courageous to try and increase the partition size in Linux (even having read the tutorial right here on this website I am still chickening out..).

And yes I do daily incremental backups of this VM with Veeam B&R, so no problem to disable internal EFA backup for me )

P.S. I checked CRON and I checked scheduled tasks from within web interface:10000 (Webmin section) - but it says no scheduled tasks exist, so not sure where else to check and disable the automated backups. If I delete everything in that folder it just gets filled up again after few days..

Keeps you busy

Code: Select all

ls -l /etc/cron.daily

There should be a EFA-Backup-cron. Just comment the 2 lines

Code: Select all

#/usr/local/sbin/EFA-Backup -backup >> /var/log/EFA/EFA-Backup.log 2>&1
#/usr/local/sbin/EFA-Backup -purge >> /var/log/EFA/EFA-Backup.log 2>&1
