Problem

Unable to disable the scheduled backups feature in Bamboo.

  1. Go to Bamboo administration >> Scheduled backups.
  2. Click the edit button.
  3. Check "Disable scheduled backups".
  4. Click the save button.
    At this point, it looks like the scheduled backups was turned off.
  5. Navigate to another page and go back to the scheduled backups page (or simply reload the page).
  6. The scheduled backups feature is still enabled.

Diagnosis

Check if the path where the backup is getting created is a symbolic link. This is one of the possible causes.

Workaround

If the path is a symbolic link, remove the symbolic link and replace it with a directory, after that you should be able to disable the scheduled backups feature.

2. Manually disable scheduled backups

If you're not using a symbolic link and are unsure as to the root cause, you can manually disable the scheduled backups feature following the steps below:

  1. Stop Bamboo.
  2. Set <isDisabled> to true inside the <bamboo-home>/xml-data/configuration/administration.xml file:

    <scheduleBackupConfiguration>    
    	<backupCronExpression>0 0 0 ? * *</backupCronExpression>
        <backupFilePrefix>bamboo_backup_</backupFilePrefix>
        <backupFileFormat>yyyy_MM_dd</backupFileFormat>
        <lastRanDate>1462435182707</lastRanDate>
        <isDisabled>false</isDisabled>
        <exportArtifacts>true</exportArtifacts>
        <awaitJobCompletion>true</awaitJobCompletion>
      </scheduleBackupConfiguration>
  3. Start Bamboo.
