obvously I got the citation syntax wrong

\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.\

sorry

Thanks for a great tool Paul. I is a lifesaver. Just lost the db for my primary site and was able to restore effortlessly by getting the file from bucket on A3 and running it through MySql Workbench. Can’t say enough good about a backup that really works and over the internet too!!!!

One question: on the settings screen there is a message

Can you help with how this is done?

Thanks

Hey Paul,

I linked my S3 account to updraft and it connects, but it is only storing the plugins and themes files, it isn’t storing the database backups or upload backups. Is something setup wrong?

I love your plugin so far. It fits my needs perfectly. The only thing I have seen that I would like changed, is the option to use the Reduced Redundancy Storage on S3 to save some money .

Thanks for the feedback Rick. I’ll definitely add the blog name into the backup names in the next release. It should be doable to allow the user to specify additional directories for backup as well!

Fabulous plugin!!! I am somewhat of a WordPress backup expert having spent countless hours trying to find a workable solution for my 30+ websites. I just tested this one using the FTP feature and it seems to work great. I plan to use cPanel to manually restore the database and wp-content folders from backup and report back.

Suggestions:

1) The website URL or the title should be in backup files names and in the email notification. If this works as well as I hope it will, I will be deploying to more than 20 websites and being able to tell things apart is essential.

2) The wp-content folder may contain other important folders besides plugins, themes and uploads. For instance, the NextGen Gallery plugin creates a “gallery” folder in wp-content. Would be possible to specify additional folders such as “gallery” to be part of the backup? This would be a big plus.

Thanks for a great plugin. A Donate button would be appreciated and definitely get some use.

Everybody thank Major for the name. The original name was Cloud Backups, which is obviously inferior!
