We are pleased to launch an updated version of UpdraftPlus that now features lots of new helpful features and tweaks. Just some of the new features in the new update include marking a backup as “do not delete”, adding restore command to WP-CLI and the fingerprint configuration for SFTP/SCP. These changes are for the free version of UpdraftPlus. We recommend this update for all.

* FEATURE: Add optional ‘fingerprint’ configuration for sftp/scp remote storage, allowing the connection to be halted if the server’s fingerprint does not match what was entered
