Hi all!
I do not use the automatic backup system but after i just opened the dialog it started to do automatic backups without my confirm so now I get one automatic everyday and one from the third party system and i can’t find if there are some schedule where i can stop the automatic backups?

### The problem I have not configured the core backup system. I have never conf…igured this. <img width="730" height="231" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/55286167-e851-42d4-8cf2-f16a4e9eac56" /> Yet every morning at 5am an automatic backup is created and saved to my drive and the cloud: <img width="1863" height="375" alt="Image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/53243b72-9a36-446e-bc71-bdad1d1dd746" /> I do not want or need this. I use SAMBA backup to save a backup to my NAS every night at 2am. How do I stop your backup system from using up my disk space needlessly? ### What version of Home Assistant Core has the issue? core-2025.10.3 ### What was the last working version of Home Assistant Core? _No response_ ### What type of installation are you running? Home Assistant OS ### Integration causing the issue backup ### Link to integration documentation on our website https://www.home-assistant.io/integrations/backup/ ### Diagnostics information _No response_ ### Example YAML snippet ```yaml ``` ### Anything in the logs that might be useful for us? ```txt The config/storage/backup file contains: "config": { "agents": {}, "automatic_backups_configured": false, "create_backup": { "agent_ids": [ "hassio.local", "cloud.cloud" ], "include_addons": [], "include_all_addons": true, "include_database": true, "include_folders": null, "name": null, "password": "6EBF-76QA-JORZ-FLE7-JVRW-8IP7-4HD5" }, "last_attempted_automatic_backup": "2025-10-24T05:40:01.001059+11:00", "last_completed_automatic_backup": "2025-10-24T05:55:02.030361+11:00", "retention": { "copies": 3, "days": null }, "schedule": { "days": [], "recurrence": "daily", "time": null } } ``` ### Additional information _No response_

Though it no longer affects me as I took the plunge and moved from SAMBA backup to the core backup system. I’ve re-opened the issue for you.
