Customers of GoDaddy’s Managed WordPress hosting may have noticed that UpdraftPlus has been blocklisted for the past few months.

UpdraftPlus was blocklisted because the specifics of the GoDaddy configuration meant backups were consuming large amounts of server resources. More specifically, servers were configured to use a cron interval which was timing out before temporary backup files could be cleaned up.

We’ve been working hard to implement performance improvements to satisfy GoDaddy’s requirements.

We’re happy to announce that as of versions 1.22.23 (free) and 2.22.23 (Premium), GoDaddy has lifted the restrictions on UpdraftPlus.

If you previously had UpdraftPlus Free or UpdraftPlus Premium installed on your GoDaddy Hosted site, you can now reactivate the plugin (after updating to the latest version).

If you are new to UpdraftPlus, why not check out the extensive features available?

The post UpdraftPlus now available on GoDaddy hosting appeared first on UpdraftPlus. UpdraftPlus – Backup, restore and migration plugin for WordPress.

Can you clarify this idea further, please? UpdraftPlus already has the capability to exclude named folders – https://updraftplus.com/faqs/how-can-i-exclude-particular-filesdirectories-from-the-backup/ – and there are also incremental backups if you don’t want to backup rarely-changing files each time – https://updraftplus.com/tell-me-more-about-incremental-backups/ .

Hi,

I see – some kind of multi-select capability would be useful?

N.B. That can already be done in the UpdraftPlus settings on the website itself, or centrally from UpdraftCentral.

Hi,

Thanks for this idea. I have added it to our internal task tracker to get someone to look into what’s involved.

It’d be helpful if you could give some more information on your side. Why do you use this program – what are its benefits? It’s helpful for us to understand customer use cases and motivations.

Thank you,
David

Hi Andreas,

You can achieve this already by using the settings import/export feature, in the “Tools” tab. To do so:

– Make a blank install
– Set the settings for your schedule, only, and export the settings

Then, when you begin on a new site, you can import your chosen setting with your schedules, and then configure the rest that is specific to the site.
