When you install and activate the UpdraftPlus plugin on your WordPress site, it creates a subfolder named \u201cupdraft\u201d on your local web server storage.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Updraft Plus plugin backs up a website to the updraft subfolder in the wp-content directory on the local webserver. If remote storage is configured, the files are copied to the remote service and deleted from the local server. Otherwise, the latest backup files remain stored locally.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Local storage<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The plugin also places a few small configuration files in this local updraft folder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Until you start using the plugin to back up your website, there will be no further files stored on the local webserver. This is a snapshot of one of my websites after I\u2019d installed Updraft Plus but before I took a backup.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Remote storage<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The remote storage location depends on which service you’ve configured within the UpdraftPlus plugin.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

I use the free option of Google drive. The UpdraftPlus plugin creates an application folder called “UpdraftPlus” on the drive, and places all backups into this folder.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

If you choose DropBox or Microsoft OneDrive, a similar folder will be created in the main area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can change the name of the backup folder with the premium tier of the UpdraftPlus plugin. That will be useful if you are backing up multiple sites to the same general area.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
