Bakups are still stored locally

    After switching the site to new hosting, the plugin started backing up to a local server instead of Google.
    I reaffirmed Google and the phenomenon still exists.
    The new server is a LightSpeed server.

    Hi,

    You can check the option “Delete local backups” from UpdraftPlus > Settings > Show Expert settings. When enabled, it will automatically delete the backups after the backups are successfully sent to your remote storage.

    Hi, sorry but this is not working, I keep getting saturated hosting space (limited to 1Gb) even after having checked the box last week. Should I manually delete the existing local backups through FTP, and from there on will it stop making local backups ?
    Thanks.

    I found that when there is not enough space to create the backup, it does not end and is not sent to the remote server and then all files remain on the server.
    What lies ahead is that the backup is created on the server, sent to a remote server and then deleted.
    You do not have enough space to finish the process

    Hi. Thanks for your quick answer. I thought this might be it, I will look into it more. But the website I am developping is so small… I will try to trim the files by deleting any unused theme, plugins, etc… but the entire website (DB and files) shouldn’t be over 150M… so I am not sure what is happening. I will manually delete the temporary backups through FTP again, then see if the available space is taken in account. I will then try backing up manually again.
