Thank you very much. I will save any text etc and then it will go.

All sorted thank you. Will review backup settings if and when needed. Your advice was invaluable. Jim.

Thanks for the response. I have found two backup folders. One named __Backup and one named _Backup. The one with the leading double underscore is full of zip files, of which there are two types. Some are plain zips of about 600Mb. Most are monster files of 2 to 4.5Gb with an extension .zip followed by 6 random characters e.g. *.zipzN5GdJ.

I have found another __Backup folder nesting among one of my sub-domain directories containing more large files of the type with the zip + random characters (not the same files as in the other folder above). I am inclined to delete all these big guys (?), but how to work out what’s generating them? I tried to check ‘properties’ for these files in the hope of knowing where they are coming from but this function is apparently not available.
