UpdraftPlus 1.8.12 Release

By David Anderson Posted Updated Category Company news Topics Releases, UpdraftPlus,

UpdraftPlus 1.8.12 has been released, and should appear in your updates dashboard during the next few days.

This is mostly a collection of small tweaks for performance and usability (including one that should help produce backups of large sites on very underpowered hosting setups without needing to tweak any ‘Expert’ settings –  especially for one.com users!), plus these new features:

  • Allow the ‘Exclude’ options (for omitting files/directories from the backup) to go to any level (i.e. can now exclude entities which are deep in the directory tree)
  • Allow use of Amazon S3’s Reduced Redundancy Storage (Premium) (more info)
  • Allow all messages to be centrally logged in syslog/Event Log (Premium) – useful for system administrators (more info)
  • ‘More Files’ add-on (and hence Premium) now allows adding as many non-WP directories as you like

Also, the Russian, Dutch, German and Portuguese (Brazilian) translations have been updated. A recommended update for all.
