Configuring my cloud drive connection rn. Tbh I want to keep five copies remotely but only two on the local server to save space. Wondering if separate retention rules exist for different storage locations btw? Drop a hint pls. Hi, UpdraftPlus currently uses a single retention setting that applies to the backup set as a whole, so separate retention rules for local storage and remote storage are not available. For example, if you set retention to keep 5 backups, that applies to both local and remote copies. If local storage space is a concern, one option is to enable “Delete local backup” after successful remote upload so that backups are primarily kept in your remote storage. Best Wishes, Bryle
