We all know that backing up a live WordPress site is necessary for the site owner. After the launch of snapshot, we have really added many new things! To view all new features, go to the project page. Storing backups at remote locations is a healthy strategy. Snapshot verification can be used wherever you are. Anyone with a Gmail account can use an inexpensive and easy solution. This weekend, the WordPress project will show you how to use the Google drive as a remote repository for backing up very important sites. The
There are many backup solutions available for WordPress with full complexity. Regardless of the functionality of the solution, the best backup solution is an easy to understand solution that executes regularly. Bells and whistles are of no use if they do not ring or blow. In addition, it is important to think about the reverse process. Backups are created taking into account the fact that the backup site is recreated at a specific time and date. The worst case scenario is to recover from a disaster, but you can potentially use backup to create a test site, deploy a new site, or \
Especially in disaster situations, it is very necessary to easily access backup files. It is very meaningful to find these files in the cloud. In particular, consider that disk errors are the most likely cause of disaster scenarios and that backups stored locally (on the website) will not be available. Of course, there are many cloud options, and among the more popular backup solutions, both Dropbox and Amazon S3 have them. But the same is true of Google drives. It’s amazing that 15GB is provided for free. This is enough to store a reasonable number of backups for the average WordPress site. The
The advantage of these broad support gaps is that the choice of backup solutions is much easier. The WordPress project will use the default version of updraftplus this weekend. Configuring the updraftplus and Google drives is a bit cumbersome, but it’s worth it. Once you have completed this process, you can rest assured that regular site backups can be easily used in secure off-site locations. Step 1 – on the updraftplus plug-in installation malegoogle drive, you can find the updraftplus plug-in in the WordPress plug-in repository, one of the few free backup plug-ins that support remote storage, or simply search for updraftplus on the plug ins > add screen. The
You can also learn more about plug-ins and various advanced features on the updraftplus website. Step 2 – set backup content and schedule > go to updraftplus backup and set the required options for the project and backup schedule to be backed up to the site. The free version of updraftplus has good control over the backup object and time. As long as you don’t publish several times a day, it’s enough (if the site has a major update, you can always perform a manual backup). The number of backups always depends on whether you then revert to the latest backup or rollback to a specific date. The
Of course, you can choose to run different schedules for files and databases, which is worth considering. Since most files may be copies of files stored locally or easily re ed, you may not need to back up the database regularly because the database will become the only repository. You can start by backing up files weekly and databases daily. Step 3 – configure the Google drive as remote storage, which is a little squeaky here. What we need to do is drive API
Create a Google project for use, set up remote access to the project, and then approve the updraftplus plug-in to use the project. It sounds more complicated than it really is. The
Of course, the first step is to notify updraftplus that it will use Google drive, so select Google drive from the \
The active window in the lower right corner of the browser window opens, displaying the progress of the project creation operation. When finished, navigate to the project dashboard for the new project. To activate the Google drive API, you need to enable access to the Google drive API, so click activate API. A list of available Google APIs is displayed. Scroll down to the drive API and click off. After the API is activated, a message appears, listing the driving API at the top of the API list, as well as several other APIs that are automatically activated when the project is created. The
It is allowed to add drive API in Google project and use drive API in updraftplus. Now we have set up a project to provide access to Google drive through API. You must now enable updraftplus to use the project. Please move the menu item slightly, but it is better to do so. Navigate to the project’s API and certification menu and click agree. This form is used to set the appearance of approval confirmation that will be displayed later in the process. There is a confirmation example next to the form. If you have logged in to other websites with social networking credentials, you may be familiar with the layout. The
You can set the consent by selecting the email address and entering the product name. The form looks a little complicated, but just select the email address (if not already selected), fill in the product name (using WP backup), and click save. Male second, credentials must be set. In the API and authentication menu of the project, click credentials, and then click create new client ID in OAuth. In the pop-up dialog box for generating access credentials of project users, keep the selected content as a web application, enter the domain name of the site in authorized JavaScript origins, and enter the previously copied URI into the authorized redirect URI. The
Click Create Client ID. The dialog box closes and displays a new table called the client ID of the web application. Copy the client ID and client secret of the console from the updraftplus settings to the Google drive client ID and Google drive client password. At the bottom of the updraftplus settings screen, click save changes. Annoyingly, this returns you to the current status tab, so click the Settings tab, click the link in the notification at the top of the page, or scroll down to Google, scroll to authentication, and then click link detection. The following page must be displayed (product name – WP backup – set in consent) – click accept to allow access to Google drives. Male request is ambiguous, but updraftplus accesses Google drive project
Request consent. You must automatically return to the updraftplus settings (also part of the test) and display a notification with Google drive account details. The modest message of successfully passing the annoying course. We successfully configured the Google drive as a remote repository for backup. Step 4 – test with a manual backup, but the backup process must be tested before the champagne cork is detonated. On the current status tab of the updraft settings, click backup now. A pop-up dialog box will be displayed. You can perform some basic configuration for the backed up items, but you have not selected the option. We will provide complete movement for updraftplus. Click backup now and watch the updraftplus update backup progress. Male updraftplus provides up-to-date information on progress. After completion, updraftplus will display the message \
