Tables to exclude – confusing and didn’t seem to work

[Chris LennonParticipant]

I am restoring a WP site, it has a large (1M rows plus) actionscheduler_actions table. I was hoping not to restore it

The image upload doesn’t seem to work in this forum? Image is at https://imgur.com/a/OiOeDOr

– as per the screenshot the message is that there was not enough time to get all the table names. A query to get all the table names takes less than a second – this should be the first thing this plug in does
– Then the confusing wording. I have no clue if I am supposed to tick the tables I _do_ or _don’t_ want to restore
– I went with my gut and thought if I untick the actionscheduler_actions table it won’t be restored
– And yet the table got restored?

The tables that are checked will be restored, the tables that are not checked will not

If you choose the option to “select all” all tables in the DB will be ticked and be restored.

Thanks Vanessa

Yes I did untick the large tables I did not want restored. And yet Updraft still attempts to restore them. I have tried several times

Is this a bug?

Hi Chris,

If you unchecked them and they still restored, this could be a bug.
Can you send me your restoration log from the wp-content/updraft directory of your site?
