David,
I didn’t change any configuration during this time period. I didn’t even know there was that option available. Was there a bug that was fixed regarding that option’s enforcement? The plugin updated on the 23rd, but on the 26th it didn’t delete the backups. But on the 3rd it did? I’m at a loss for behavior it exhibited.
23rd – Updated plugin “UpdraftPlus – Backup/Restore” to 2.12.13.22 from 2.12.6.22
Also there is a typo:
“Check this to delete any superfluous backup files from your server after the backup run finishes (i.e. if you uncheck, then any files despatched remotely will also remain locally, and any files being kept locally will not be subject to the retention limits).”
despatched = dispatched
