    Hello , I probably miss something about how it works…
    I tried my first back up and realized got split up in 11 folders. No problem for plugins and themes, but the uploads folder (quite big) got split in 7 folders and each contains more or less the same folders. I have no idea how to put them together locally, to have a complete one backup, without spending probably half an hour or more to merge the content of each month folder for each year, etc… Is there something that I missed to do?? thank you in advance for help.

    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

    The exact number of file varies on the size of the site.

    Each backup set is split in to number of chunks depending upon the split archive size set in UpdraftPlus > Settings.

    UpdraftPlus however restores all the backup sets when you perform restoration process.
