Backups Taking Up Server Space Despite UpDraft Vault

[Graeme HuntParticipant]

I’m having storage issues on a client website and the Host is telling me I have 40GB worth of Updraft Backups on their server. I have UpDraft Vault and it is syncing and sending all backups, so why are there ALSO backups stored on the client host?

Hi,

You will need to enable the option so UpdraftPlus will delete the local backups and keep files only on your remote storage.

To do this, please go to UpdraftPlus > Settings > Show Expert settings, Check the “Delete local backups” checkbox and click save settings button.

When “Delete local backups” option is checked it will temporary store the backups to local server until the backups are sent to remote storage, after successful transfer it will delete the local copy.

Thanks,
Bryle
