Backup Contents And Schedule

Database backup schedule:	and retain this many scheduled backups:
	To fix the time at which a backup should take place (e.g. if your server is busy in the day and you want to run overnight), to take incremental backups, or to automatically delete backups as they age, use UpdraftPlus Premium.

Sending Your Backup To Remote Storage

Choose your remote storage (tap on an icon to select or unselect):	You can send a backup to more than one destination with Premium.
	If you choose no remote storage, then the backups remain on the web-server. This is not recommended (unless you plan to manually copy them to your computer), as losing the web-server would mean losing both your website and the backups in one event.

Advanced / Debugging Settings
Expert settings:	Show expert settings - open this to show some further options; don't bother with this unless you have a problem or are curious.
Debug mode:	Check this to receive more information and emails on the backup process - useful if something is going wrong. This will also cause debugging output from all plugins to be shown upon this screen - please do not be surprised to see these.
Split archives every:	MB UpdraftPlus will split up backup archives when they exceed this file size. The default value is 400 megabytes. Be careful to leave some margin if your web-server has a hard size limit (e.g. the 2 GB / 2048 MB limit on some 32-bit servers/file systems). The higher the value, the more server resources are required to create the archive.
Delete local backup:	Check this to delete any superfluous backup files from your server after the backup run finishes (i.e. Whilst this option is unchecked, files sent to remote storage will also remain stored locally, and no locally stored files will be deleted in response to any retention rules).
Backup directory:
	Backup directory specified is writable, which is good. This is where UpdraftPlus will write the zip files it creates initially. This directory must be writable by your web server. It is relative to your content directory (which by default is called wp-content). Do not place it inside your uploads or plugins directory, as that will cause recursion (backups of backups of backups of...).
Use the server's SSL certificates:	By default UpdraftPlus uses its own store of SSL certificates to verify the identity of remote sites (i.e. to make sure it is talking to the real Dropbox, Amazon S3, etc., and not an attacker). We keep these up to date. However, if you get an SSL error, then choosing this option (which causes UpdraftPlus to use your web server's collection instead) may help.
Do not verify SSL certificates:	Choosing this option lowers your security by stopping UpdraftPlus from verifying the identity of encrypted sites that it connects to (e.g. Dropbox, Google Drive). It means that UpdraftPlus will be using SSL only for encryption of traffic, and not for authentication. Note that not all cloud backup methods are necessarily using SSL authentication.
Disable SSL entirely where possible:	Choosing this option lowers your security by stopping UpdraftPlus from using SSL for authentication and encrypted transport at all, where possible. Note that some cloud storage providers do not allow this (e.g. Dropbox), so with those providers this setting will have no effect. See this FAQ also.
Automatic updates:	Ask WordPress to automatically update UpdraftPlus when it finds an available update. Read more about Easy Updates Manager
	Easily migrate or clone your site in minutes Copy your site to another domain directly. Includes find-and-replace tool for database references. Migration
