Backups disappearing
-
Problem on a number of different sites. My settings are to retain 4 full backups and 4 database only backups.
Full backup scheduled, email received saying Files and database backup succeeded. List of existing backups also shows that they should be present. However, only database backups are on the server. In most (if not all) cases I saw the file backups on the server, but then they disappeared.
This problem started a while ago and I thought it was to do with the fact that I had started to use Updraftbackup with MainWP. I did report it there, but didn’t get anywhere.
After I stopped backing up through MainWP I manually did a full backup on every site and checked through FTP that the full backup files, along with DB backups, were indeed there. However, next time I looked there were only the DB backups.

No, I have more than enough storage, files are just disappearing. I have been using updraftplus for a long time now and never had this problem.
I manually backed up files and db on all my sites (over 30) on 20th July and confirmed they were all ok and present on the server. All sites are scheduled to backup files and db at least fortnightly, some more frequently. Server shows that those files that were definitely there are now missing, and only db backups there, some only 2 db backups instead of 4.
Link is to a log file for a scheduled full backup (can’t attach files here). Existing backup list on site shows full backups, and email received to confirm it succeeded. On the server this site now only has 2 db backups.
