Updraft Google Drive Backup

    Hi, I’ve gone through the docs of updraft but it seems I couldn’t find what I was looking for.

    When I went through my google drive files, I discovered that updraft saves backups bit by bit, not just one large zip folder. And it’s really confusing. So what if I wanted to restore my backup to another site using the google drive backup, how’s it gonna work?

    Am I to download all the bits of backup, or is there a function to enable one-click restoration to a different website using the same Gmail account?

    Thanks in anticipation for your reply!

    Hi,

    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

    You should see the above file formats on your Google Drive.

    Ok thanks. But if possible in future updates let the restoration be a little easier
