    Hello
    I installed your plugin today and it works very well. I notice that I generate 5 files in my Google Drive, those are the 5 files that I should download to my PC if I want to save them on an external drive?

    Then I could upload those 5 files manually?

    Hi there,

    When you click on the backup files buttons you can download them, you should download all the files and you will be able to save them to an external drive.

    You can indeed upload the files manually if you want to use them on a different host but the files will remain available on Google Drive after you download.

    Best regards,

    Nick

    Hello
    So for example if my site stops working, and I install WordPress and your plugin again when I upload the 5 files, should everything work as before?

    Of course, it is an example, I ask because my previous backup solution generated a single file but did not allow to upload it automatically to Google Drive and that’s why I changed plugin ??

    It should do. The only thing would be to check if you had any non core tables missing from the backup (the free version only backs up core tables)

    If you post your log using a tools such as pastebin.com, I can check this.

    I would also recommend you do a test restore on a a test site.

    I am not an expert but what are core tables? So what other type of table would my site have? It’s just WordPress.

    Here the log: https://pastebin.com/4tJzqtMh

    Of course I will try the backup in XAMPP but I just wanted to know.

    Hi,

    Your backup does not look like it is skipping and tables. I see no reason why this backup should not restore.

    Hi @vupdraft I tested the backup in XAMPP, and it worked perfectly!!!

    How do I know if my site has “non core tables”? I ask because I have one more site

    I understand that “wp_aawp_products” is related to AAWP plugin and it would not be a core table but it is saved correctly by the plugin.

    Regards,

    Thank you!

    But for example looking at my database how do I know if I have non core tables.

    In your log look for a a message that a table was skipped as it “lacks our prefix”
