    I realize that you have global settings to delete files based on age, size, or quantity. It would be more versatile to save these settings with each individual scheduled backup.

    Is it possible to send a backup directly to Azure without first creating a local copy? My sites weighs in at 5GB so storing them locally is not ideal, even temporarily. But if it must be temporarily saved on disk, how can I delete it afterwards automatically? I don’t want to delete all backups locally, just the full site backups including wp-content/uploads. I have separate backups excluding uploads that are only 50MB each which I want to keep locally. So you see, this is where global settings are very limiting.

    Unfortunately it is no possible to create backups without storing them locally first, so it cannot send backups to Azure without first creating them on local machine. But you are right about deleting after transfer is done option, i will look into adding that up for the next version.

    I have added an option in the 4.0.5 release inside the XCloner Settings->Cleanup Options tab called “Delete Backup After Sending it to Remote Storage”, you can activate this to automatically delete backups after the remote storage upload is finished.
