S3 backups consuming local and object storage

lockedm

Apologies if this has been asked before, have searched but can't find the answer I need.

I've configued S3 object storage for my backups. Backups are running to them fine. But, it's also consuming 80+GB of local disk. How can I configure Enhance so that it's only using the S3 storage?

Also, when I look at the backups on many of my websites, I see duplicate entries. I'm assuming this is showing the backup on local storage, and the backup to S3. On the W3 backup, I can do a 'custom' restore, but on the other duplicate, which I'm assuming is local, selecting 'custom' just results in a spinner.

Many thanks!

If you want to use only S3, uninstall the Backup role on this node. Then the backups will be stored only in the Object Storage. Configure the backup frequency that suits your needs and is optimal for you in the Master node settings (Settings / Services), and this way you'll have some control over the backup size.

Here is the information on how backups are stored in S3
