Backup is way too large. Trash cleaner not running?

[statira]

Hi guys, I have a rather old installation of Alfresco

Alfresco Share v5.1.f

Alfresco Community v5.2.0

(r125711-b6) schema 10001

and I noticed that the backup is way too bigger than I think it's supposed to be. If I measure \\alf\alfresco it's about 90GB but if I check out the contentsore directory it's twice that size. The trashcan cleaner is configured

trashcan-cleaner.cron=0 30 * * * ?

trashcan-cleaner.keepPeriod=P1D
trashcan-cleaner.deleteBatchCount=1000
system.content.deleted.cronExpression=0 0 23 * * ?

system.content.orphanProtectDays=2

but when I went to trash can in web interface I saw files from previous year and I couldn't find any entries about trash cleaner in alfresco.log or share.log. Is it supposed to  be in another log file? Is it not supported by my alfresco version at all (should be supported starting with 5.2)? 

As far as I know the contentStoreCleaner which moves items deleted from trash  can to contentstore.deleted is run at 4 am by default, it there a way to reschedule it?  The backup takes ages and not always ready by this time.

And one more question if I may what does contentstore folder consists of?

Contentstore is not only for site data, it is for the repository. 

You should get idea of lifecycle of a node, read this post: https://blog.dbi-services.com/understand-the-lifecycle-of-alfresco-nodes/

Go through this documentation for more details on repository architecture and content stores:

Is that module still needed for Alfresco version 7.4 ? Or is there an internal Alfresco mechanism to use ?
