Hi there!
I just purchased Total Upkeep Pro plugin for WordPress in order to frequently backup several custom data tables in my WordPress MariaDB installation and store the backups to Google Drive.
I have WordPress Pro, which already contains JetPack for automatically backing up all WordPress content & files plus all database tables with standard prefix wp_
However, the core of my system is several large custom data tables with custom prefix xxx_ Now it seems, that I can’t backup these custom tables xxx_, only the wp_ tables are available in your selection list.
How to backup custom data tables with other prefix than wp_?
I could maybe rename all my custom tables with prefix wp_, but it would mean huge extra job to change all custom php code related to data table handling (= hundreds data calls in tens of different locations. It would be much easier, if you could modify the plugin to accept also other prefixes than wp_
This was the only reason for purchasing Total Upkeep Pro. If those custom data tables can’t be backed up my Total Upkeep Pro purchase is useless.
Another issue: I can only set the automated backup for one day a week. If I select several days, the plugin says: “We were unable to save your settings for the following reason(s): An error occurred when modifying cron jobs. Please try again.” I would need the updates daily.
BR,

Thanks for reaching out and thank you for purchasing Total Upkeep Premium!
Total Upkeep will backup any tables that use the website’s database prefix, which is
wp_
by default, but that value can be changed. the database prefix used for a particular installation is set in wp-config.php.As for you daily backup schedule, Normally the uninstalling and reinstalling the plugin removes all crons automatically, but if something like, maybe a plugin directory was deleted by mistake you can:
Either use your web host’s cron job manager (like cPanel or a similar tool)
or on command line with the crontab -e command. allow us to quickly test this issue on our end.I hope this helps Juha! Please let us know if there’s anything else that we can answer for you!
