What I needed:
As I am building a site with several ten thousands of posts with many images – it will eventually need a lot of disk space.
So two things are important, both are given with wptc:
1. incremental backup
I tried other plugins that don’t do incremental backups, for example boldgrid total upkeep. No incremental backup means: Each time a new backup is being created, let’s say each day, a backup of the whole site is being made!
For a website that uses just some gigabytes of disk space this is simply bad… very bad: It takes very long to make these backups and uses server memory, slowing down the site while making the backup and uses a lot of disk space.
Incremental backups only save the changes !!
So let’s say per day I publish 10 new posts: the backup notices the change and adds the posts and the new images and stuff to the backup.
The old backups are still there and contain the information, which posts, settings and stuff were already there when this old backup was being created. So any time you can jump back to an old backup without it wasting space !
This is crucial.
When I realized that, I started comparing 6 different backup plugins that use incremental backups. All of them were more expensive, especially when using several websites. WPTC has a good pricing model: you can chose between a yearly fee (at the moment 50 bucks for 2 websites) or 150 bucks for a lifetime licence !
In the long run this is going to be worth it. I am going to buy this licence.
I asked the wptc support if I could later upgrade to a 10 domain licence (costs 300$ for a lifetime licence) paying just the price difference and the told me this is possibly.
Btw: the support is great!
I had some initial trouble with my first backup. I sent them an email and the helped me very fast and they fixed the problem.
I think it is very important to know that you get help, when something isn’t working.
2. low price
As already mentioned, the price is great. Especially when using the lifetime licence, there will only remain the cost of the disk space that is being used by the service you chose. I am using Amazon S3 and the disk space per GB is 0,0125 $ per GB. So if you have a website with 10 GB of Disk space you will pay 0,125$ per Month, That’s nothing.
3. Reliability
I am just starting to use the service so I have no long term experience yet, but I will update or delete my post if something isn’t working as expected in the long run. I tested the initial backup, staging and restoring a backup and it worked very well. And as already mentioned: the support is great so if something wouldn?t work I am sure I would get help.
I would recommend you to try it, especially if you plan on building several websites this plugin will be the cheapest by far !
]]>That is a big NO-GO for accouting, where the incremental sequence of invoices is required for tracability reasons.
How do I get incremental invoices numbers?
]]>I’m interested in having him purchase the premium version because of the fact that you can do incremental backups. According to your site, this feature “Allows you to only backup changes to your files (such as a new image) that have been made to your site since the last scheduled backup.” My concern is that we’re having problems getting an entire backup with a scheduled backup, and are only able to get an entire backup if done manually.
Can incremental backups be done based on a manual backup?
]]>i want to sell certain two products, by 4 groups. so in that specific products page, incremental values should by 4 (4, 8 12 ..) not by 1 (3,4,5..). how can i do that?
Found a snippet but this is applying to whole shop. I need for two products.
add_filter( ‘woocommerce_quantity_input_args’, ‘jk_woocommerce_quantity_input_args’, 10, 2 );
function jk_woocommerce_quantity_input_args( $args, $product ) {
if ( is_singular( ‘product’ ) ) {
$args[‘input_value’] = 2; // Starting value (we only want to affect product pages, not cart)
}
$args[‘max_value’] = 80; // Maximum value
$args[‘min_value’] = 2; // Minimum value
$args[‘step’] = 2; // Quantity steps
return $args;
}
1. Our exported data has to be in specific order. In Set up fields to export, I have the Products field, and within that, have just 3 fields exporting, SKU, Quantity and Product Current Price. In my export, among all of the other exported fields, I need SKU in position 1, which is fine, but need to have Quantity in position 17 and Product Current Price into position 18. If I could duplicate the Products field, move into position and only select the appropriate fields that would work… or is there another way to deal with this?
2. On one field, Order Number, I need to make that field unique, so wondering if there is a way to take the content and add something like a dash plus a number and then increment it up. For example, 2378-1, 2378-2, 2378-3.
]]>However, we noticed some people were entering in bids that were lower than $5 from the initial value. After some investigation, it seems that when using the Microsoft Edge browser, the incremental value check does not happen. It worked fine on Chrome, however.
We’re using WordPress version 4.9.4 and Ultimate Auction version 4.0.0.
Thanks!
]]>I created a website with OceanWP. All products at single page have quantity field with pluses and minus on both sides. I want to display this field on archives page in order to let the customers increase the quantity and click on the add to basket button without going into the single page.
I added this with a plugin named: “WooCommerce Thumbnail Input Quantities” but it doesn’t show pluses and minus on both sides of the quantity field.
Please let me know how can I do that like OceanWP single page’s default style.
Kind regards,

However, mysqldump doesn’t really do incremental backups – and the “wp-posts” table of my database is nearly 7Gb.
I’m wondering if anybody can point me in the direction of shell scripts, or linux apps, for managing – and maybe even automating – backups. If incremental backups can be done as well, that would be a great bonus.
I suppose I could always write a few cron scripts…
Thanks,

Does the backups to Dropbox are incremental or full if I scheduled a daily ones?
If full, any way to tell the plugins to delete old ones once a new one completed successfully?
