UpdraftPlus Premium has a new, long-requested feature which allows you to back up to multiple remote storage locations of the same type.
Basically, if you have multiple accounts with the same remote backup provider, you can now upload your backups to more than one account simultaneously, for example to two different Dropbox accounts or three Backblaze accounts.
This is useful for various reasons:
- It’s an easy way of organizing backups for different purposes, e.g. one account for live site
backups and one for development site backups - It’s a way of avoiding having to buy more storage with a particular provider if you’re running
short on space (since you can simply upload to a second, third or even forth account instead) - It adds an extra layer of security to your backups
- It gives you the flexibility to upload your backups to particular accounts, thanks to our special
checkbox feature.
Whatever reason you choose, we know you’ll love this new feature which is (like many others) unique to UpdraftPlus.
Please keep sending in your suggestions for new features, and together, we’ll ensure that UpdraftPlus remains the world’s number 1 backup plugin.
This will be a little help, but not as helpful as being able to run a local backup and then also a offsite backup. It would be great to have the ability to schedule a local backup and then also schedule an offsite backup. The situation I am running into is some customers have some pretty large upload directories and I don’t really need to back them up offsite nightly. It would be great to back them up locally and then just the database offsite nightly.
Thanks,

Hi Devin,
If the options exposed in the UI don’t cover what you want to do, you can run a backup from the shell that has different options; see: https://updraftplus.com/faqs/can-i-run-backups-from-the-shell/
