Automatic Backups OFF ... but still backing up

I have Back Up Automatically deselected and Next Backup says Automatic Backups are off. However, they start automatically without and intervention from me.


Have tried forcing them off in TMUTIL from Terminal but the behaviour stays the same. Must be another process triggering these backups but I don't know how to find it... any ideas?
