I have an Ubuntu box that performs a database dump on all the databases in MySQL server multiple times a day. I need to find the source of these dumps and stop them. I have no idea where to even start looking for this. Any ideas?

If it's not a cron then you need to talk to the person who is obviously invoking the mysqldump command. Which user owns the created dump files? – user3741598 Aug 18 '16 at 12:30

The thing is it was a previous developer who set it up and that box has only one account that everyone uses... so there's sadly no clarity from that side – Ree Aug 18 '16 at 14:00

See tutorial here
One of the most common ways of backing up with MySQL is to use a command called "mysqldump".
