    Hello, thank you for the amazing plugin. I have two questions:

    1) If I choose to save the backups to a remote storage, what’s the process of it?
    Is it saving the backup in local storage first > send to remote storage from local > delete the local backup?

    2) How the plugin retrieve the backup to the web server? I don’t want the backup stores in my server, so it will only download the backup from the remote storage when I want to restore it? ( because I didn’t check the setting where it saves the backup in local storage after sending to remote storage ) Therefore, the lists are only displaying the backups by scanning the remote storage but there is actually no backup in local server, right?

    Hi @ace0930

    Thanks for reaching out to us.

    To answer your questions:

    1. Yes, that’s the process.
    2. That’s right. A remote backup will be retrieved to the web server only when you restore it.

    All the best,

    @tonyrobins Thanks for the quick response. I just got one more question about the database access method.

    I saw the word ‘support’ for PDO_MYSQL in the debug which means that I can use PDO already? But I saw WPDB got better compatibility, may I know what compatibility means here? Is it means it’s safer to access the database through WPDB?

    Hi @ace0930

    No problem.

    Yes, when you see the word ‘support’ for PDO_MYSQL in the debug, it means you can use the PDO method(you can switch between WPDB and PDO in the plugin Settings > Advanced).

    ‘WPDB has better compatibility’ means WPDB is the method provided by WordPress which is more stable for a WordPress site, it actually has nothing to do with safety.

    All the best,

    @tonyrobins The word ‘support’ means it can be used already or it simply means the server support PDO but actually not yet been configured ( like download or install )?

    But will PDO causes any problem because it’s not the default method of accessing the database for WordPress although it’s faster.

    It means the PDO extension is already installed on the server. So you can choose whether to use the PDO method or not.

    In rare cases, using PDO method can cause an issue of ‘some content not migrated properly in a migration’, but it works for the most part.

    All the best,
