    Hey GOLDen1, I hope you're doing well!

     

    Is it possible that you've accidentally enabled our Backup feature?

     

    Also, what do you see when you access your account's plan page here? Feel free to send me a screenshot, in order for me to have a visual too.

     

    I'll be waiting your updates!
