Good Afternoon, We are in a bit of pickle with this as I think some of the issues we may be having could possible be caused by being backup mode for months. What can I check or do to make sure the db is not in backup mode and under what circumstances/how can I remove that backup.old file?

It was either pg_dump or a recovery script, that would have included a call to pg_start_backup. It does have the start_backup looking format.
