Can you set updraftplus to back up to a NAS or on your LAN? I have True Image backup and you can pick computers near me that is your LAN computers that can save to.
All so It’s been working on my Google drive. But with all the data I have in my WordPress with some videos too it’s taking up all most half of the 15 GB free Google drive space.
I seen the backup at it’s end today and it said how it was deleting the old backup. But it was not there. Because I had to delete it to have more room on my Google drive else it would run out of room.
Can’t you have it delete the old backup 1ST? Then save the new one? Or do I have to change the “retain this many backups” to 1 and not 2 like I have it now? Then it would really have 2 backups. At lest till it starts the next backup.
It’s junk that it don’t just save the changes. It does a full backup again. Some times the only change is that days’s text. But it has to upload the hole thing again with just a little text added in the data base.
I ask about this before but found out my self after days of getting it to work.

Hi Raymond,
If your NAS device can support FTP or WebDAV, then yes, you can back up to that.
Also, if you have some very large fixed files, and if they live alone in their own directory, then it is possible to exclude them from the backup. If they are in a sub-directory of wp-content/uploads, then this is in the next release; if it is a sub-directory of wp-content, then this is possible now by using the setting under the ‘other content’ checkbox on the UD settings page.
UD doesn’t delete old backups until it has finished creating a new one, because this is the safest option… because you can’t know ahead of time if the new backup will succeed.
