    I have made a backup of my website with Total Upkeep. I have since blown away the site and created a new one that I want to restore to. The problem is that when I select the local backup (289MB) it keeps saying the file is too large even though I have set it to 512M. What do I do?

    Hi @pbchambers26 ,

    Thanks for reaching out with your Total Upkeep questions. Restoring a manual backup is quite different from using the magic link method. You can use the following steps to accomplish this:

    Uploading, Renaming, And Restoring A Large Backup

    1. Connect to your hosting account via FTP, or by using a file manager in your hosting control panel.
    2. Upload your backup file to your backups directory, typically in Home -> boldgrid_backup.
    3. Log into your WordPress Dashboard, and navigate to Total Upkeep -> Upload Backup.
    4. Click on the help icon next to Have a large file to upload or want to use FTP?
    5. Locate your Total Upkeep ID, which will be an eight-character string of letters and numbers.
    6. Rename your uploaded backup file to boldgrid-backup-[abcd1234].zip (replacing [abcd1234] with your Total Upkeep ID).
    7. Navigate to Total Upkeep -> Backup Archives.
    8. You will now see your backup file listed in your Web Server backups.
    9. Click View Details -> Restore.

    Congratulations! You’ve uploaded and restored your backup that is too large to upload via the Dashboard.

    I hope this helps!
