    Hello,

    How can I test if the backups created by updraftplus will work when trying to restore them? I have created a wordpress installation on my local computer using InstantWP5.5. When I tried to re-create my website using the Updraftplus backup files, I failed in doing so.

    Can you tell me of a good way to cehck whether backup files can be used to re-create original website?

    I look foward to hearin from you.

    When I try to restore the backup files through an installed plugin on local host, it comes with following message:

    Hi,

    Please can you provide a link to your restoration log file for the problematic restore? (You can get it from the directory wp-content/updraft).

    It’ll be too long to paste into the forum here, but you can download it to your computer, and share it with Dropbox, or paste it in pastebin.com, or any similar service, and post the link here.

    Is the backup set from a different site that the one you’re restoring on? Were any warnings shown prior to the final confirm that you wanted to go ahead with a restore operation?

    Best wishes,
    David

    According to the screenshot, in your localhost MySQL setup, you have the “InnoDB” MySQL engine disabled. That’s not even possible on modern MySQL versions – see https://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.7/en/innodb-turning-off.html – current MySQL versions remove the ability to do that, even if you want to.

    You need to remove the part of your MySQL configuration that disables InnoDB, and restart MySQL.
