Are there any backup limits?

UpdraftPlus supports a wide array of cloud backup options, including Dropbox, Google Drive, UpdraftVault, Amazon S3, Rackspace Cloud Files, OneDrive, Microsoft Azure, Backblaze, Google Cloud, DreamObjects, Generic S3, SFTP, and FTP. Theoretically, UpdraftPlus is limitless with these storage solutions. If your web hosting provider ever interrupts a backup, UpdraftPlus is designed to resume the process seamlessly once connectivity is restored.

To manage large backups efficiently and avoid issues with file size restrictions, UpdraftPlus automatically splits backups into manageable chunks. The default setting slices the data every 400MB, but this is configurable. This feature ensures compatibility with your system’s zip file size limits. Generally, UpdraftPlus detects and adjusts to these limits automatically, requiring minimal manual configuration.

When backing up to an email, be aware that your email provider may impose size restrictions on incoming emails. This limitation is essential to consider if you choose email as your backup method, as it might restrict the backup size you can send or receive through this method.
