    Hi,

    I’m testing with Total Upkeep and it looks great to me. I tried to sent the backup to my local NAS via SFTP and this works fine. Because i’m running more than one websites, it would be great to backup each website to its own subdirectory on the NAS.
    Is this possible and how would i accomplish this.

    Regards, Benny

    Hi Benny, I am happy to hear that your are enjoying Total Upkeep so far!

    The FTP remote storage settings for our WordPress backup plugin has a field in there titled Folder Name and you can configure a unique folder for each of your websites to use for backup storage. You can locate the FTP storage settings by navigating to Total Upkeep > Settings > Backup Storage in your WordPress dashboard and then click the Configure/Update link next to the FTP/SFTP option. The Folder Name field is just below FTP Username and FTP Password.

    Please let us know if you have any other questions for us Benny!

    Thank you for your answer. I found this path configuration but it won’t let me use a slash.
    On my nas i have a share /backup and subdirs site1, site2 etc.
    I tried to enter the path for site1 as /backup/site1 but it does not accept this path (???)

    Hi Benny,

    The Folder Name option in the FTP settings only allows you to specify a single folder to use for storing backups and unfortunately does not accept inputs for nested folders.

    One thing you could try though is creating a separate FTP account for your web server that uses the /backup folder as its home directory and use that account to manage the FTP uploads.  That way you will be able to supply site1 in the Folder Name field and ensure that it exists as a subdirectory of the /backup folder in your web server’s file system.
