    Hello,

    When using Backup Guard on a database with multiple projects installed (multiple wordpress or other cms), the plugin back up and restore the full databse.

    Is it possible to target only the current wordpress install?

    Thanks

    Dear @antoad ,

    Thank you for getting in touch.

    Do we understand you correctly that you’re using the plugin on a multisite network?

    If that’s the case, then it’s possible to backup and then restore the whole network fully and not just one single site.

    If we didn’t understand you correctly, please, let us know and provide us with some more details.

    Thanks!

    Hello @backup-guard,

    Thanks for your answer.

    No, the website are not part of a multiste network.

    They are independent websites on the same database. It can be a database with a wordpress website and a drupal website. Your plugin backup and restore the full database and this is causing issue as it restores all the website instead of the current website.

    So the goal is to save and restore only the current wordpress and not the full database.

    Thanks

    Dear @antoad ,

    Thank you for the response.

    The only way you could proceed in this case would be performing a custom backup and choosing the DB tables of the current website manually. https://prnt.sc/11diyr2

    This would be a longer process but could help to achieve your goal.

    Hello @backup-guard,

    Ok great there is an option. When restoring, would it restore only those tables without removing the full database ?

    But don’t you think would be easier to have a more direct option in the plugin configuration like “save only current WordPress tables”. I think this would be great.

    Thanks

    Hello @antoad ,

    If you restore that very backup, it would restore those tables and won’t “touch” the other tables.

    That’s a nice idea. We will add it to the wishlist for future consideration. 🙂
