Hi,
Apologies for the simple question but I am intrigued as to how the back up works when I save it to my Dropbox.
Is the backup placed on my host in a tmp folder, uploaded to Dropbox via whose internet link ? – and then deleted ? Does my upload internet speed make a difference or not in this process ?
Everything is working fine but I am just curious. Please could someone explain how the uploading works to the cloud/off site location. It works very well but I would just to like understand the process.
Many thanks
Stephen
Hi Stephen,
When a backup is taken:
- The backup files are created on the server in the wp-content/updraft directory
- UpdraftPlus then uploads each backup file one at a time to your remote storage
- After each backup file is confirmed as having been uploaded, it is deleted from the server
Your internet speed does not affect the upload (unless you are using a localhost test site), but the connection speed between the server and Dropbox will affect the upload speed.
Best Wishes,
David
