    Description

      When you enable asynchronous backups the backup settings have everything selected regardless of what default backup settings are. 

      Async course backup does not pick up general default (Otherwise should it have it own default settings configurable via UI?).

       

      Step to replicate:

      1. Enable asynchronous backups: /admin/settings.php?section=asyncgeneralsettings
      2. Un-check a setting in General Backup, eg 'Include logs': /admin/category.php?category=backups
      3. Back up a course, and find that the setting is enabled where it should be disabled by default.

      Another example of steps to replicate: 

      1. Set default back up settings to not include users
      2. Enable asynchronous backups
      3. Attempt to back up a course and see that users are included.
