Version:
1.2.0
What is the bug:
AromaBackup, one of the mods included in the Infinity modpack, will absolutely destroy a server's disk space if the included config file is left unaltered.
By default, the config file for AromaBackups is set to create a backup once every 2 hours, and will keep a maximum of 12 backups. This may not sound like a lot, but here is a screenshot of the nasty large disk space this consumes - look at the backup folder:
Yep. 35G. That's a lot. This isn't good, no matter how you host your server.
Mod & Version:

Can it be repeated:
Yes.
Known Fix:
SImple fix - change the config file included in modpack (both client and server versions) to have auto backups DISABLED. Period.
I, like many server owners, use other tools to create backups, which we have learned to rely on and trust because they are tools that we have been using for a while and already have regular backup schedules assigned.
Including a mod like this, in my opinion, is a very poor choice. I was not aware these modpacks would include server administration mods such as AromaBackup. I trust modpack devs to let me decide what administration tools to use to manage my backups and servers, not FTB.
I don't mind that these type of mods are included in modpacks by default because they can help newer hosts, the default config you include with this modpack needs to be set to not do anything. Let the server admins who run these modpacks decide if they want to enable this mod through the config.
If this config remains in the default state, then unknowing server admins could suffer - full disks = corrupted worlds.
