Installing BackWpUp with BPS Pro

[Young Master]

Hello. Will you please assist me on how to install BackWpup wordpress plugin so that it can work without any problems in site with BPS Pro installed. Thanks.

There are no issues between BPS Pro and BackWPup.  Just install it like you would any other plugin.  I recommend that you use the /bps-backup folder to store your BackWPup backups.  Create a new folder called /website-backups inside of the /bps-backup folder – /bps-backup/website-backups.  Save your BackWPup backups to this new folder that you create.  This way you will not have to create an AutoRestore Exclude rule to exclude your BackWPup backups folder from being checked by AutoRestore.

The extra benefit of doing this is that the /bps-backup folder is already protected with a Deny All .htaccess file, which means no one, but you can access the /bps-backup folder.

Thank you very much…the autorestore exclude rule info is what I was looking for. In your opinion do you think BackWPup is the best plugin for backups, repair database and database optimization?

[AITpro Admin]

I think BackWPup is an excellent backup plugin.  In order to be diplomatic to other plugin creators I will refrain from giving my opinion about whether or not it is the best backup plugin.

Thank you very much for taking your time help me. I really Appreciate it.

I have successfully installed BackWPup plugin on my site and it works just fine. I have changed the directory path for backups and logs to the way you recommended above but I cannot change the path to for the temp folder which by default is located in uploads folder. Can you help me with that please.

What temp folder?  Does BackWPup create a temp folder in the uploads folder?  Please explain with exact specific details exactly what you are talking about.

[Young Master]

Yes BackWPup creates a temp folder in the uploads folder. If you have BackWPup installed you may check the temp folder path by click on BackWPup then go to Settings the click on Information tab then look for Temp folder: there you will find a temp folder path.

Why do you want to or feel that you need to change the temp folder?  Is there a problem occurring?  Most backup and caching plugins designate a temp folder for files to be stored temporarily.  I do not see any logical reason why you would need to change that unless there is a problem occurring.

Well I just thought maybe its better if I change it for security purpose. But if its safe for that folder to stay in uploads folder then its fine with me.

[AITpro Admin]

Yep, actually since the uploads folder is protected by Uploads Anti-Exploit Guard then it is very safe.  Typically a temp folder is used temporarily to put files in a temporary location to make it easier to handle/process them all from one place instead of having to do iterations while archiving on the fly. 😉

Well thats great then. BPS Pro always rocks my world. Lol 🙂
