    First thank you for answering my ID dash ten T error the other day. [ I-D-1-0-T ]

    Is there a way to save different backups remotely than stored on the server locally?

    I am attempting to save server space and resources. The site content is growing rapidly and backups are becoming an issue. Full backup is currently 96GB Including UpdraftPlus
    Over 36GB is UpdraftPlus backups!

    The uploads alone are 24.6GB and growing.
    Strategy assistance might be what I need.

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

    Hi,

    UpdraftPlus backup should not be included in the backup itself. Can you confirm that is the case please? So we can make necessary adjustments to your settings.

    Thanks,

    Thanks
    Would you answer my question?

    Here is some more typing that might help or confuse you more.

    I want to save backups remotely and NOT delete them, until scheduled.
    I do not want to keep these same files on the server.

    Updraftplus should only save ONE or two backups stored on the server.
    So a different schedule for local backups and offsite backups.

    You stated “UpdraftPlus backup should not be included in the backup itself”
    I know that is what I am attempting to reduce.
    If you think I am referring to updraftplus creating backups with its updraftplus backups in them. I am not.
    This is a server backup. Thus all files are backed up.
    The server is including updraftplus backups in the server backup. I want less updraftplus backups to remain on the server.

    Hope this helps.

    Hi,

    Unfortunately, the scenario you have given is not possible. You cannot have remote backups and local backups that have different schedules. The only way to do this would be to manually create the backup and choose where it is sent.
