    While researching last year on how to backup my wordpress site, I came across the plugin Updraftplus.

    I did the setup and everything seemed to be working just fine.

    But then I had issues with my last host and hence lost my site. I have to move to another host.

    On downloading all my backup files by updraft, I observed that the sql database was missing. Now I’ve uploaded the other 5 folders updraft saved but I have no database for my website. It’s just showing white space.

    What do I do please? How can I find this database?

    The page I need help with: [log in to see the link]

  • Hi,

    The backup set consists of a number of .zip and .gz files. These will all be identified by the same timestamp, site name and random character string. The naming scheme is as follows:

    backup_<YEAR>_<MONTH>_<DAY>-<TIME>_<Site Name>_<12 random characters>-<Section of the backup>.[zip/gz]

    e.g.:
    backup_2018-11-19-1839_WordPress_d59089f8ad80-plugins.zip
    backup_2018-11-19-1839_WordPress_d59089f8ad80-themes.zip
    backup_2018-11-19-1839_WordPress_d59089f8ad80-uploads.zip
    backup_2018-11-19-1839_WordPress_d59089f8ad80-db.gz

    Can you please check if you have file that ends with “-db.gz” extension?

    If the file is present you can manually upload the file to UpdraftPlus > Backup/Restore interface.

    Thanks,
    Harshad
