Is there an option to disable the automatic backups that SimCommander makes in the user's Documents folder? I have an automated process that already takes real-time backups of my files that are versioned for a longer time period than the SimCommander backups are retained, and are there redundant.

You can achieve this by manually changing a setting in Documents\SimXperience Commander 4.5\Settings\CommanderSettings.xml. Specifically, you will want to change the setting <MaxBackups>30</MaxBackups> to <MaxBackups>0</MaxBackups>
However, I would suggest having it set to at least <MaxBackups>1</MaxBackups>
Lastly, if your backup mechanism is some sort of synchronization tool like OneDrive, I would highly advise against using that altogether for the Sim Commander folder.
I already have MaxBackups set to 0, but it's still saving the last 30.
My backups comprise of continuous backup of files to a local NAS which takes snapshots for version control and replication to cloud storage for offsite backup.
