Multisite installation questions

    Hi there,

    Already using on single WP sites and works really great!
    This is my first install on network for a WP Multisite and there is something I can’t get:

    – I manage my backups at network level from the network admin area, under settings, but it seems there are individual folders with backups for each sub-domain. What exactly is done at network level, what are those individual backups and where do I access individual sub-domains backups settings?

    Cheers.

    hey John,

    Thanks for reporting this issue. Did you try and download a backup archive?

    This is not the intended behavior, I’m going to open a github issue and we’ll provide a fix in an upcoming version

    Yes, I just tested and downloaded the main archive: it seems complete and contains all folders (incl content from sub-sites) and the SQL.

    The other backup folders contain a mix of full backups and database backups. Those full backups seem to be smaller in size than the main one (maybe done when I create a new sub-site) but I don’t know whether the database archives in there are only related to the sub-site or not – sizes vary from one site to another.

    In fact, I also notice that the program constantly creates new folders under /wp-content, or renames them, even in standard WP installations – maybe after each upgrade – and thus makes it difficult to exclude those backup folders for other programs as I always have to update the settings. Isn’t it possible to stick on a specific folder where the program stores backups?

    Any news about those issues?

    My sites are getting full of new backup folders I keep deleting and they keep reappearing!
    In a multisite this is really nightmare because each and every network site has its own folder that keeps recreating backups again and again…
