no problem, but a question: overwriting backups

    Hello,

    first: Thank you for this awesome plugin!
    My question is regarding the setting “keep these backups for 10 days”.
    When day 11 is coming: what does UpdraftPlus do? Does it overwrite the oldest backup (backup 1)? And on day 12 it overwrites backup 2? and so on…?

    Thanks and best regards
    S

    Hi,

    When UpdraftPlus reaches the backup retention limit, it will delete the oldest backup.
    This is only done if the new backup has been successfully created.

    Effectively, the oldest backup is overwritten each time once the retention limit is reached
