Backups disappear from panel Existing Backups after being used

    I noticed this with another site/install as well: When I have for instance daily backups of the database (and separate for files) from April 2th until April 16th, and then use the backup from April 12th, after restore the backups with that date are gone from the Existing Backup panel. It is still there in Dropbox, but not in that panel, so I can never use that backup again.

    I cannot use the Rescan remote storage button, because I did that once with a site, and it added all backup files, including the ones from other sites.

    Hi,

    Because UpdraftPlus stores the records of the backups in the database, this is overwritten during a restoration.

    Apart from the ‘re-scan remote storage’ button, the only way to re-add the backup to UpdraftPlus is to download the files from Dropbox directly, then upload them to UpdraftPlus through the Existing Backups tab when you wish to restore that particular backup.
