Is there a way to have a backup automatically copied to the web server AND the specified FTP server? At the moment, I only see the option of starting the FTP upload of a single backup via a button.
Hi Roland,
Thanks for reaching out with your Total Upkeep questions!
Yes, you have the ability to schedule automatic backups to your web server as well as FTP. You have to configure both backup options in your Total Upkeep settings Total Upkeep > Backup Storage. You’ll have the ability to connect via FTP and configure your settings just like the Web Server settings.
I hope this helps! Please let us know if you need further assistance we’ll be right here to assist you.
Hi Brandon, thank you very much, that works!
I had understood that clicking on the “Backup Site Now” button would execute what is set in the “Settings”. But if this works as a scheduled backup, I’m happy!
Best regards, RolandHey Roland,
I’m happy this works for you! The “Backup Site Now” button will execute what is set in your settings but it is an option that you can use at anytime along with your scheduled backups.
Please let us know if you run into any issues we’ll be happy to assist you with anything further.
Thank you!
Now I have to ask again:
You say, the “Backup Site Now” button will execute what is set in your settings. But this is not what happens.At Settings > Backup Storage i configured Webserver and FTP/SFTP (both are ticked and configured).
But the “Backup Site Now” button does not take into account the setting to upload the backup via FTP. Because that does not happen! It is only saved locally.
The scheduled backup, on the other hand, takes the FTP setting into account and uploads it to my FTP server. And it is saved locally.
Is this behaviour desired, or is it a bug?
Hi Roland,
Ah, I believe we are referring to two different settings options. You are correct the Backup Site Now button will not automatically backup via FTP because the backup will essentially pass through the web server before it sent to remote drives, leaving you the option to send it where you choose.
The settings I was thinking of are for the backup itself and pertains to files/folders and database table options. I apologize for the confusion!
Hi Brandon, thank you for the explanation.
