App Data Backup is creating a share, and it has streams and app data doesen't

I have no idea why app data backup is creating a share. it is set to back up to a pool called back up. Today I looked and the back up has 40 streams connected to it and appdata has none.

Any idea what the heck is going on?

Not only has it created a user share, but it is going to create another user share next time it runs, named ab_whatever_date_time.

What is the Backup Destination you have set in the plugin? You must have told it to store it directly to a pool or array disk.

User shares are simply the combined top level folders on array and pools. If you create a top level folder on array or pool it is automatically a user share named for the folder.

Backup Destination needs to be a path to a user share you create for the purpose, or a subfolder of a user share you already have.

My Shares page doesn't look like that. Is that due to some plugin?

That's from the Dashboard. OK so I see what you mean, I originally had a folder in the pool backup. When I lost the disk and you helped me through getting back online I remember an error and I changed the location in app backup from backup/backup to just backup. that explains that part.

On the right side of the image where it says streams. here is screenshot after I moved the backup share and restarted docker. The streams from the dockers are now running on the appdata share where they are supposed to be. In the other image they are running off the backup share.
