View ArticleRe: Migrating a stand-alone site into a network
Hi Brien, We have some code in UpdraftPlus for importing a single site into a multisite network. It is not well-tested. If you can share with me a copy of the backup set for your network, and for the...

View ArticleRe: Keep 8 Remote Backups and only 1 on the same server
Hi Jonathan, By default, UpdraftPlus doesn't keep *any* backups on the local server. It has to create the zip files there before despatching them to remote storage - but after despatching them, it...

Eh, I think I'm just going to do nightly backups to S3, with the most recent 8 days available on S3 and then rolling them over to Glacier for the next 52 days... Glacier is cheap enough that it's not...

Hi Andrew, The reason for the 'versioning' advice on that page is not to do with Glacier, or automatic deletion, but for extra security. The relevant bit is the first paragraph under the heading "What...
View ArticleRe: Amazon S3 Versioning & Lifecycles
P.S.Note that if you're getting S3 to do the deleting for you, then you'll want to not have UpdraftPlus itself do any - so turn the 'retain' setting up to some ridiculously high that will never happen...

Hi Terri, I'm a little curious as to what it could have been. UpdraftPlus is meant to do this, and we've not heard of any omissions for a long time. Presumably if another plugin missed it too, then it...
