 * Hi there, I’ve noticed that the plugin stores the generated files in
    wp-content/
   wpvividbackups and this is a problem with hosting platforms that don’t offer 
   write access to the wp-content directory/path.
 * Are there any overrides we can add via php to change the location of the generated
   files if we want to store them locally to the server?
 * I’m thinking of having it inside the wp-content/uploads/wpvividbackups
    Creating
   a symlink would do the trick but I was just wondering if there is a one-liner
   code we can add to wp-config.php to define the storage path?

 * Hello [@jahz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jahz/)
 * Thanks for reaching out to us.
 * Backing up the wp-content folder requires write permission to the folder.
 * And it is still recommended to assign 755 permissions to all your files/folders
   to ensure success backups.
 * All the best,
