Where are the local backups stored in my server?

    Hi,

    I just use the plugin to make a backup on my server. Now, other than send the backup to a remote server such as Amazon S3 or MS Azure. I want to download a copy of the backup to my personal computer.

    I find there are several options:

    1. In dashboard, for a specific backup, I can download “Database”, “Plugin”, “Themes”, etc. one by one. However, this is very inconvenient. It is better to download all of them together.

    2. I try to search for the FAQ, but all are saying “where is the backup stored on DropBox or Vault”, not mention where they are stored in local server.

    What I want is just use ftp to login my server and if all files for a backup is stored in a folder, then I can just download that folder which includes everything. But there are no document mention that.

    Thanks

    Hi,

    Sorry about the delay.

    Your local backups should be stored by default in wp-content/updraft

    Best Wishes,

    Hello –

    Before I go “live” (or immediately after) I need a backup and continued backups.
    UpdraftPlus seems to be THE Plugin to use. Before I download and activate it, I have some questions-

    I’d like to backup and restore to my PCs local drive and/or external hard drive. I have LOTS of space and download/upload speed. I know it’s possible – but how ? Would I still be able to restore individual components i.e. theme, plugins, etc as shown in the videos ?

    Thanks for your support !
