Mandatory information about my setup:
There is no 'technical' issue involved here so I'm not including anything concerning my installations.

My issue is when you do an update for Admin Tools, it takes a backup before updating. When you do an update for Akeeba Backup, it takes a backup before updating. Is there a way to include the option to 'not' make a backup or at the very least to see if there has been a backup done on the same page. There really is no need to take up disk space for multiple backups on the same day.

Thanks.

Yes, there is. Please disable the System - System Restore Points plugin before upgrading. After upgrading you can re-enable the plugin.
