Feature: Scan Remote Drive

    Using a remote storage (i.e. Google Drive) as shared storage between environments, I want to be able to clone a copy of production site on my local machine. I could not find any feature (similar to what Updraft offers) in Wpvivid that would allow me to scan remote storage and update my backup file list. For example, steps I have taken.

    1. Production Site -> Install Wpvivid plugin. Configure Google Drive on Remote Storage. Perform backup to Google Drive. Done. (Confirmed backup file is on Google Drive.)

    2. Local Site -> Install Wpvivid plugin. Configure same Google Drive on Remote Storage. My backup list is empty and there is no option to *scan* remote drive to update my backup list with any items. Possible manual workaround is to copy wpvivid_backup_list option value over into local database. (If such a thing would work, I would find the exercise little ironic because one of Wpvivid plugin’s purpose is to help copy/migrate data over instead of me doing it manually.)

    Can you please confirm such functionality is not implemented? If not, then do you know of any other way to help migrate using remote storage without manually downloading/uploading files between sites?

    Thanks!

    Hi @bitx004

    Thanks for your feedback.

    The feature you mentioned is available in WPvivid Backup Pro. Here is a doc showing how it works.

    Kind Regards,

    Thanks Tony for pointing out an alternative option available in the Pro version.

    I had another use case for re-scanning remote storage. I directly prefer to delete and add backups directly in my Google Drive. I have done this and now my backup list is out of sync. I now realize I cannot directly make my changes thru Google Drive.

    Thanks

    Hi @bitx004

    Sorry about the inconvenience. The free version does not support this synchronization, it only records the status when a backup was completed.

    Kind Regards
