  3. Here, we can select the settings.
  4. Once done, we click Save Changes.

We will receive a message stating “Your settings have been saved.”

As per the option we select, the backups will run.

On the other hand, to perform a manual backup immediately:

  1. We open Current Status and click Backup Now.
  2. We can decide if we want to include the database and files in the backup, then click Backup Now.
  3. The backup will begin to run. The time it takes to finish depends on the size of the files and database.

Once done, the Last log message section will show “complete”.

3. From the list, we can see the backups, next to it will be the Restore button.

Or, we can place a backup file in the /wp-content/updraft folder or upload other backups from, Upload backup files > Select Files.

4. We will receive the following message:

“Restoring will replace this site’s themes, plugins, uploads, database, and/or other content directories. ” Select the items that you want to restore such as Plugins, Themes, Uploads, Others, and Database.

Since we are restoring everything, we go ahead and click, Restore.
