Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about Vanguard Smart Incremental Backups for Google Drive

Go to the Google Cloud Console. Create a new project for your backups. Navigate to APIs & Services > Library and enable the Google Drive API. Set up the OAuth Consent Screen (choose "External" and provide basic info). Go to Credentials > Create Credentials > OAuth Client ID. Select Web Application. Add your site's Authorized Redirect URI (found in the plugin's Settings tab). Copy the generated Client ID and Client Secret into the plugin settings.

The plugin uses a smart event listener that monitors changes in your WordPress site (like saving a post or updating a setting). When a change occurs, it identifies the modified files using a high-performance hash-based incremental engine. Instead of backing up everything, it only uploads the changes to Google Drive, making it incredibly fast and light on server resources.

Backup Frequency: Smart Sync (every 5 mins if changes detected), Hourly, or Daily. Retention Policy: Keep a specific number of backups or keep them for a certain number of days. Backup Cycles: Force a "Full Baseline" monthly or quarterly to maintain a fresh point of origin. Selective Restore: Option to skip WordPress core files during restoration.

Currently, the plugin works on a per-site basis. Each site in the network can have its own independent backup configuration and Google Drive folder. Network-wide global backups are not yet implemented.

No. Vanguard Smart Incremental Backups is strictly designed for disaster recovery and backups of your current website. It does not perform URL Search and Replace for database migrations. If you restore a backup on a different domain, your site will break.
