    I would like to know how I can configure Updraftplus so that backups are only and only stored in Google Drive. It’s possible?.
    Currently I do them on Google Drive and on the server and I want to prevent me from doing them on the server so that I do not subtract space in my hosting.
    Thank you

    Me gustaría saber cómo puedo configurar Updraftplus para que los respaldos sólo y únicamente se almacenen en Google Drive. ?Es posible?.
    Actualmente me los realiza en Google Drive y en el servidor y quiero evitar que los haga en el servidor para que no me reste espacio en mi hosting.
    Gracias

  • Hi,
    There is a function in the WP backoffice (left menu) : Settings > UpDraftPlus.
    Then again in the Settings tab, scroll down until you see “Show Advanced Settings”. There you should make sure you checked the box “Delete local backup”.
    This is what is said by the book, but to be honest, it doesn’t work for me, I still get 2 backups : one on Google Drive that I want to keep using, and a local one that keeps saturating my hosting space.

    Why is this function not working properly, or what are we doing wrong ?

    Hi,

    It is possible that the backup is failing to complete. UpdraftPlus will only delete the local backups once the backups have been successfully sent to your remote storage.

    To help us work out the cause of your problem, can you please send us a copy of the backup log?
    You can find this log in the ‘wp-content/updraft’ directory of your site via FTP.
    You can send the log file as an attachment or copy the contents into an online tool (such as https://pastebin.com/ )

    Hi,
    Thanks for your answer. Here is the pasebin link : https://pastebin.com/TFhuYZLj

    This is the log from the last backup I launched manually an hour ago (DB only) from the UpDraft menu, should it be transferred to Google Drive as planned too or will it only stay local since it was not a programed backup but a manual one ? In any case, it does not appear in my Google Drive so far, and remains local.

    This is the pastebin link to the last programmed backup attempt, that appears to have failed too : https://pastebin.com/h1Jzsq4E

    Thanks.

    Could you try to reduce the backup archive split size. This will split the backup into smaller, more manageable files.

    To do this, open the ‘expert settings’ section of the UpdraftPlus Settings tab, and find the ‘split backups every’ option. Set this to 25Mb save your settings and run a new process.

    If the issue persists, please ask your hosts/server admin to investigate their PHP error logs. These logs should contain more information on the exact issue that is causing the backup process to halt.

    Kind Regards,
