I’ve made a backup (of everything) and restored but it didn’t work. How can I undo this restore?? Almost the entire media library is missing.
Thank you

What I can do to remedy and fix this? My site is visited very frequently so that’s not the issue but is behind Cloudflare.
]]>Hello,
Why is this Updraft plugin automatically updating when Enable-Updates is Disabled in the WordPress/Plugin Dashboard?
The other plugins do not update automatically.
How do I stop this Auto-Update from happening?
Thanks,

]]>Hi,
A friend asked me to find his old website. I found an updraft backup, so my question is :
Is it possible to install the backup on a new website/domain?
I’ve installed updraft on a test website but I don’t see an option to install the backup manually.
Thank you in advance,
Maud
]]>Hello
Great plugin !!
Our error logs shows,
call to undefined method Google_Http_Request::getQuotaBytesTotal() wp-content/plugins/updraftplus/methods/googledrive.php:391
Please let me know how this can be resolved since the function is not found in googledrive.php
Thanks.
]]>Sometime in the past 2 weeks Updraft has started crashing my site. Presumably it doesn’t play well with the current update of either WP itself or my custom child theme?
Error message is:
]]>Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 201326592 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 12288 bytes) in /home/my_account/public_html/wp-content/plugins/podpress/podpress_class.php on line 170
I lost access to my WP Admin area, getting only a blank screen. Loking at my error log, I found this:
[ Many log lines and spam links redacted ]
I finally removed all plugins and gained access again.
So much for using updraft plus, thanks but NO THANKS. ??
Have just taken over a couple of WordPress sites. On one site UpdraftPlus backup failed due to lack of space on the server. To be safe have ftp’ed entire site to my local machine which has caused site to temporarily close down due to data transfer being exceeded for this month.
In my local copy of the site I have found 800MB of backups. (Only have a 2GB data storage allowance).
Cannot tell how UpdraftPlus was set up because I cannot access site at the moment. i.e., was it set up to store multiple copies of backups on the server.
Can, when the data transfer issues is resolved, I delete OLD backups from the server via ftp. I noticed that about 10 backups were on the server when I was able to look via the UdraftPlus settings – do these additional backups need to be removed via the UdraftPlus settings screen or will deleting them via ftp then cause UpdraftPlus to recognise the new status.
Thanks in advance
I restored my website from the back up I made but after completing the restoration, I can no longer open my website and admin dashboard. Error is “One or more database tables are unavailable. The database may need to be repaired.” I tried the repair instructions and its finished. My site is still not working and I dont know what to do next. Same error.
]]>Please help, I have intsalled the plugin, followed the steps, and started a backup onto my google drive. less than 2 hours later, I tried to refresh the page, and I got a 404. EVERYTHING I try to do, including accessing the website or logging into my admin account, results in a 404 error!
Please, help me as soon as possible! I’m trying hard not to panic, but I’m most afraid that the plugin has not just failed to back up my site, but actually helped lose all content on it!

Thank you!
]]>I think there is a minor problem when using Google Drive (and possibly other remote storage options).
I have a Google Drive account that I use all the time, and I’m usually logged into it in a tab of my Chrome browser, which is also the browser I use to work on my WordPress website with Updraft Plus. But I want to use a different Google Drive account for Updraft Backups. So I logged into another browser (Firefox) and logged into the other Google Drive account, created the API, copied the Client ID and Secret and folder ID, and configured Updraft Plus.
When I ran a manual backup in Updraft Plus, it threw errors like “cannot find folder ID.” I removed the folder ID from the configuration so Updraft would use the root directory of my Google Drive account. When I re-ran a manual backup, I did indeed get no errors, but there were no files in the Google Drive account on Firefox. I happened to notice, though, that the backup files were on my other Google drive account – the one that was logged in in another tab in Chrome (the same browser that I was configuring Updraft with).
So it seems that regardless of the Client ID and Secret and folder ID, Updraft will use whatever Google account happens to be logged in. I’m guessing that means that Updraft is using a Google Drive login cookie to determine which Google Drive account to use.
In addition to entering Client ID and Secret and folder ID, can you have the user also enter their login email and password, and have Updraft use that account?
]]>I just set up Updraft for the first time and I am getting this message on the Admin screen in relation to the on-site Updraft backup folder:
Backup directory specified is accessible via the web. This is a potential security problem. Enable .htaccess support to allow Updraft to automatically deny web access.
Does this mean I should add something like this to the .htaccess file in the Updraft directory?
<Directory /path/to/diretcory>
order allow,deny
deny from all
<Directory>
Or is there something else that is being asked for?
It would be good if there were better instructions for this.

This trick does seem to work: https://beta.bourbonandboots.com/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=updraft-backuprestore.php&settings-updated=true
PS: Great plugin! Perfect by description ?? Thanks for all your work on it.
]]>Hi,
I am using Updraft for getting the backups by email for local storage.
I would prefer if all (in my case 3) the backups will be packed into one archive file which will then be mailed.
Thanks,
Gunther
Hi,
I’ve written a patch that encrypts backups – useful for shared storage. I couldn’t find an email address to send it to. Please contact me at david at dw-perspective dot org dot uk.
I’m interested in taking over maintenance of this plugin; I have various improvements I’d like to make.

]]>I backed up my wordpress site using Updraft.
I am now trying to “restore” that backup on a different installation of WordPress, so I uploaded all the backup files into the updraft directory, but the Restore option is not available.
How do I restore from backup files created with Updraft on a different site?
Is that even an option? Kind of defeats the purpose if the server is wiped out and you’re starting from scratch…
Thank you.
]]>Hi
First, thanks for a great plugin.
There seems to be a small problem where local backups are not being deleted. (I have it configured to retain 10 weeks and I note I have 32 weeks-worth on the webserver).
It looks to me like the problem is here:
/*retain behavior*/
$updraft_retain = get_option(‘updraft_retain’);
$retain = (isset($updraft_retain))?get_option(‘updraft_retain’):1;
$backup_history = $this->get_backup_history();
while (count($backup_history) > $retain) {
$backup_to_delete = array_pop($backup_history);
foreach($backup_to_delete as $file) {
$fullpath = trailingslashit(get_option(‘updraft_dir’)).$file;
@unlink($file); //delete it if it’s locally available
}
}
update_option(‘updraft_backup_history’,$backup_history);
/*retain behavior*/
Should this not be “unlink($fullpath)” not “unlink”($file)?
I will test this when I get time, but since you know the code, maybe you can get there before me.
Thanks.

Updraft installed and ran a backup. Changed stylesheet of my backend and generated .htaccess file “deny from all” in root directory! Uninstalled.
]]>Excellent plugin! I consider it a must-have!
]]>Hello, the plugin seems to be working great, except there is an error in the admin area that says:
Backup directory specified is accessible via the web. This is a potential security problem. Enable .htaccess support to allow Updraft to automatically deny web access.
I looked in the directory and there is a .htaccess file in there. I’m not really sure what this error is all about…
]]>I’m trying to get this plugin to work, and my goal is to save the backup online (ie the /wp-content/updraft/-folder). The problem is that the sql-file never contains any real information, just a short description but never anything about tables and stuff like that. The file is about 150 byte. Everything else seems to work fine. Any qlues what could de the cause for this?
]]>Trying to get a backup of our WP site. I have it set to go to Amazon S3 daily. However, the plugin has been installed for over a week, pages have been added, and no backups have been made. Permissions in S3 are adequate as well. Any helpful thoughts?
