Setting Up Individual Site Backup Settings<\/h3>\n

You can change backup settings per website. These settings will only apply to the site you have applied them to.<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Go to the WordPress Backups interface. See <\/span>How to Find WordPress Automatic Backups<\/span><\/a><\/li>\n
  2. Find your site\u2019s name in the \u201cSite Name\u201d<\/span> column<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Next to your site name, click the field in the \u201cStatus\u201d column and select <\/span>Active with Custom Settings<\/b><\/li>\n
  4. This will now give you the ability to choose the backup schedule and how many backups to keep for that site.<\/span>
    \n<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n
    Schedule<\/b><\/td>\nSchedule the site backup for a specific dayYou can select a day of the week to repeat weekly or every day.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n
    Backups to Keep<\/b><\/td>\nChoose how many backups of the site to keep.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

    Once the limit is reached, the oldest backup will be deleted to make room for the new backup. The maximum backups that can be kept are 5.<\/span><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<\/li>\n

  5. Click the <\/span>Update Backup Settings button<\/b> at the bottom of the page to save changes.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
