There is a reason why I am asking for a better backend, more transparency as to the storage being used, and simply more!
I was having notices of failed backups due to my 10GB of space being full. All of the sites using Snapshot (only 8 out of 32 with WPMUDEV) have an additional destination.
When checking the backups I found a ton of ones that really weren’t needed. Yet as I was trying to delete some to start fresh the pages kept giving errors and then refreshing without showing the remaining backups.
Also after deleting everything that it would allow me to I still was taking up 2.24 GB of space. When I added up everything that showed as a backup it only came to 1.31 GB of data. That is a really big difference!
I would really like to have a much better Snapshot control backend. One that would look a little more like the “File Manager” does. One where you can EASILY control what backups go and stay. Also where you can CLEARLY see what space is being used!
Some of this was also due to the fact that I had one site that was still being built, had ZERO content, ZERO images, and yet was taking up almost a GB of backup space.
I am asking basically for a much better back-end to control all of the Snapshot backups.
*I also really wish that you could use your “hosting credits” for credits towards backup storage.
Thanks for reading this, I know that this request isn’t as in-depth or eleguint as my other ones. I am working on very little sleep at this moment.
Keep up the great work!
