Editing updraftplus backup schedules has an accumulative effect not edited.

    Modifying updraftplus backup schedules has an accumulative effect rather than just being modified.

    I set the schedule to only backup the database every night years with a really long retention period (which I don’t know how to view bcause you can’t look at existing backup schedules or delete them) ages ago but now want to edit the settings so it backs up everything once a week and uploads and other directories daily for a short period, depending on how much disk space the full backups take. If the full backups don’t take up too much room I want to modify them again to backup everything daily. I am currently using 16.85 GB of 25.46 GB and an UpdraftPlus backup of everything takes up 86MB (I downloaded each section to disk to find this out), so maybe I can backup of everything daily.

    Please can you tell me how to achieve what I want to do ie alter rather than add a schedule backup or delete the existing one before setting another and also look at the existing backup schedule.

    Best Regards,

    Jonathan

    Are you storing the backups locally? If this is the case then please check the number of retention copies set in UpdraftPlus > Settings, I’d suggest to keep only 1 copy if you have limited space on your server.

    Thanks,
