Backup and restoration made easy. Complete backups; manual or scheduled (backup to S3, Dropbox, Google Drive, Rackspace, FTP, SFTP, email + others).
== Description ==
UpdraftPlus simplifies backups (and restoration). Backup into the cloud (Amazon S3 (or compatible), Dropbox, Google Drive, Rackspace Cloud, DreamObjects, FTP, Openstack Swift, UpdraftPlus Vault and email) and restore with a single click. Backups of files and database can have separate schedules. The paid version also backs up to Microsoft OneDrive, Microsoft Azure, Copy.Com, Google Cloud Storage, SFTP, SCP, and WebDAV.
Top-quality: UpdraftPlus is the highest-ranking backup plugin on wordpress.org, with over 600,000 currently active installs. Widely tested and reliable, this is the world's #1 most popular and mostly highly rated scheduled backup plugin. Millions of backups completed!

= Don't risk your backups on anything less =
Your WordPress backups are worth the same as your entire investment in your website. The day may come when you get hacked, or your hosting company does, or they go bust - without good backups, you lose everything. Do you really want to entrust all your work to a backup plugin with only a few thousand downloads, or that has no professional backup or support? Believe us - writing a reliable backup plugin that works consistently across the huge range of WordPress deployments is hard.
= UpdraftPlus Premium =
UpdraftPlus Backup/Restore is not crippled in any way - it is fully functional for backing up and restoring your site. What we do have is various extra features (including site cloning), and guaranteed support, available from our website, updraftplus.com. See a comparison of the free/Premium versions, here.
If you need WordPress multisite backup compatibility (you'll know if you do), then you need UpdraftPlus Premium.
= Professional / Enterprise support agreements available =
UpdraftPlus Backup/Restore is written by professional WordPress developers. If your site needs guaranteed support, then we are available. Just go to our shop.
= More premium plugins =
If you are in the market for other WordPress premium plugins (especially WooCommerce addons), then try our shop, here: https://www.simbahosting.co.uk/s3/shop/
= Are you multi-lingual? Can you translate? =
Are you able to translate UpdraftPlus into another language? Are you ready to help speakers of your language? UpdraftPlus Backup/Restore itself is ready and waiting - the only work needed is the translating. The translation process is easy, and web-based - go here for instructions: https://updraftplus.com/translate/. (Or if you're an expert WordPress translator already, then just pick out the .pot file from the wp-content/plugins/updraftplus/languages/ directory - if you scan for translatable strings manually, then you need to get these functions: _x(), __(), _e(), _ex(), log_e()).
Many thanks to the existing translators - listed at: https://updraftplus.com/translate/
= Other support =
We hang out in the WordPress support forum for this plugin - https://wordpress.org/support/plugin/updraftplus - however, to save time so that we can spend it on development, please read the plugin's FAQs - https://updraftplus.com/support/frequently-asked-questions/ - before going there, and ensure that you have updated to the latest released version of UpdraftPlus backup/restore.
== Installation ==
Full instructions for installing this plugin.
== Frequently Asked Questions ==
Please go here for the full FAQs - there are many more than below. Below are just a handful which particularly apply to the free wordpress.org version, or which bear repeating.
= Can UpdraftPlus do (something)? =
Check out our full list of features, and our add-ons shop and free/Premium comparison table.
= I found a bug. What do I do? =
Note - this FAQ is for users of the free plugin. If you're a paying customer, then you should go here: https://updraftplus.com/support/ - please don't ask question in the WordPress.Org forum about purchases, as that's against their rules.
Next, please make sure you read this FAQ through - it may already have the answer you need. If it does, then please consider a donation (e.g. buy our "No Adverts" add-on - https://updraftplus.com/shop/); it takes time to develop this plugin and FAQ.
If it does not, then contact us (the forum is the best way)! This is a complex backup plugin and the only way we can ensure it's robust is to get bug reports and fix the problems that crop up. Please make sure you are using the latest version of the plugin, and that you include the version in your bug report - if you are not using the latest, then the first thing you will be asked to do is upgrade.
Please include the backup log if you can find it (there are links to download logs on the UpdraftPlus settings page; or you may be emailed it; failing that, it is in the directory wp-content/updraft, so FTP in and look for it there). If you cannot find the log, then I may not be able to help so much, but you can try - include as much information as you can when reporting (PHP version, your blog's site, the error you saw and how you got to the page that caused it, any other relevant plugins you have installed, etcetera). http://pastebin.com is a good place to post the log.
If you know where to find your PHP error logs (often a file called error_log, possibly in your wp-admin directory (check via FTP)), then that's even better (don't send multi-megabytes; just send the few lines that appear when you run a backup, if any).
If you are a programmer and can debug and send a patch, then that's even better.
= Anything essential to know? =
After you have set up UpdraftPlus, you must check that your WordPress backups are taking place successfully. WordPress is a complex piece of software that runs in many situations. Don't wait until you need your backups before you find out that they never worked in the first place. Remember, there's no warranty and no guarantees - this is free software.
= My enormous website is hosted by a dirt-cheap provider who starve my account of resources, and UpdraftPlus runs out of time! Help! Please make UpdraftPlus deal with this situation so that I can save two dollars! =
UpdraftPlus supports resuming backup runs right from the beginning, so that it does not need to do everything in a single go; but this has limits. If your website is huge and your web hosting company gives your tiny resources on an over-loaded server, then go into the "Expert settings" and reduce the size at which zip files are split (versions 1.6.53 onwards). UpdraftPlus is known to successfully back up websites that run into the multiple-gigabytes on web servers that are not resource-starved.
= My site was hacked, and I have no backups! I thought UpdraftPlus was working! Can I kill you? =
No, there's no warranty or guarantee, etc. It's completely up to you to verify that UpdraftPlus is creating your backups correctly. If it doesn't then that's unfortunate, but this is a free plugin.
= I am not running the most recent version of UpdraftPlus. Should I upgrade? =
Yes; especially before you submit any support requests.
= Do you have any other free plugins? =
Thanks for asking; yes, we've got a few. Check out this profile page - https://profiles.wordpress.org/DavidAnderson/ .
== Changelog ==
The UpdraftPlus backup blog is the best place to learn in more detail about any important changes.
N.B. Paid versions of UpdraftPlus Backup / Restore have a version number which is 1 higher in the first digit, and has an extra component on the end, but the changelog below still applies. i.e. changes listed for 1.11.24 of the free version correspond to changes made in 2.11.24.x of the paid version.
= 1.11.27 - 17/Feb/2016 =
* FEATURE: Automatic backups can take place before updates commissioned via WordPress.Com/JetPack remote site management (requires a not-yet-released version of JetPack - all current releases are insufficient, so please don't file reports about this yet)
* FIX: Fixed a further logic error in the advanced backup retention options, potentially relevant if you had more than one extra rule, affecting the oldest backups
* TWEAK: Resolve issue on some sites with in-dashboard downloads being interfered with by other site components
* TWEAK: Auto-backups now hook to a newly-added more suitable action, on WP 4.4+ (https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/30441)

* TWEAK: Change options in the "Backup Now" dialog as main settings are changed
* TWEAK: Show the file options in the "Backup Now" dialog if/when alerting the user that they've chosen inconsistent options

* FIX: Fixed further logic errors in the advanced backup retention options, potentially relevant if you had more than one extra rule
* TWEAK: Saving of settings is now done over AJAX (i.e. without a page reload)
* TWEAK: In-dashboard downloads now process the HTTP Range: header, allowing resumption of failed downloads via the browser

* TWEAK: Fix newsletter sign-up link
* TWEAK: Log and triple-click summary now mentions the total size of the backup (i.e. total of the compressed backup set)

= 1.11.23 - 26/Jan/2016 =
* FIX: When migrating a sub-folder based multisite into a non-root install with different relative path to the source multisite (I can't think of any good reasons to do this), the search/replace could leave sub-sites unreachable without manual correction
* FIX: Logic errors in the advanced backup retention options could lead to the oldest backups being deleted prematurely, and some backups not being deleted when they were overdue for deletion
* FIX: Amazon S3 bucket creation wizard (in the S3 enhanced add-on) was not honouring the chosen region for new buckets

* TWEAK: Various internal re-organisations, to improve modularity/re-use of the code
* TWEAK: Internal CSS re-organisation to make future layout changes easier
* TWEAK: The "stop" link in the backup progress indicator now halts the backup asap, instead of at the next scheduled resumption
* TWEAK: Clarify the course of action needed if you attempt a Dropbox backup without Curl
* TWEAK: Add support for the new Asia Pacific (Seoul) region to Amazon S3
* TWEAK: Make the automatic backup option box appear on the updates page for users who can update plugins or themes (not just core - previously it was assumed that these would always go together in the real world, but some managed hosts are now removing the core update capability from the default admin user, whilst leaving the others)
* TWEAK: Change default zip split size to 400Mb on new installs
* TWEAK: Clean up use of composer, to conform to proper usage standards, and update to current version (to avoid causing a problem for plugins using PSR-4 autoloaders)
* TWEAK: Provide direct links to cart when choosing UpdraftPlus Vault storage
* TWEAK: Add debug.log to the default exclusions in wp-content (when people leave debug logging on and forget, it can get huge)

* TWEAK: Update to phpseclib 1.0.1
* TWEAK: Prevent a PHP notice when using SCP
* TWEAK: Add new termmeta table to the default list of core tables (which is usually automatically detected)
= 1.11.21 - 28/Dec/2015 =
* TWEAK: If there's a problem connecting to UpdraftPlus Vault, in some situations the information on the cause was not easily readable

* FEATURE: Import a WordPress single-site backup into WordPress multisite, as a new site (requires WP 3.5+, UpdraftPlus Premium) - https://updraftplus.com/information-on-importing-a-single-site-wordpress-backup-into-a-wordpress-network-i-e-multisite/
* FIX: Properly encode folder paths with Copy.Com, allowing some previously prevented folder names to work

* FIX: Prevent PHP fatal error on settings page on a buggy old PHP version (5.2.10) when Google Cloud storage add-on not present
* FIX: When using multiple remote storage providers, a race condition could lead to some old backups not being deleted on the storage not uploaded to last
* FIX: Views are now placed after tables in the database backup
* FIX: In-page uploader widget was not working on sub-domain based multisites in some dashboard access scenarios
* FIX: Package Net/URL2 (PEAR), so that servers without it already can use Microsoft Azure blob storage
* TWEAK: Upgrade Microsoft OneDrive API usage to latest version
* TWEAK: Automatic backups are now hooked into the themes page in the network admin on WP multisite installs
* TWEAK: Dashboard messages were not being clearly shown when trying to use UpdraftPlus Vault without PHP Curl available
* TWEAK: Protect against other plugins loading incompatible Google SDKs when Google Cloud is being used
* TWEAK: When trying to use S3, DreamObjects or UpdraftPlus Vault without PHP Curl available, make the cause of the problem more obvious
* TWEAK: When sending data to remote site, keep re-trying on receipt of an HTTP 413 (request entity too large) down to 64Kb (instead of previous 128Kb) - a webserver was seen in the wild configured at this level
* TWEAK: Detect the WordPress scheduler invoking a scheduled backup multiple times, in some cases where the existing semaphore lock wasn't helping (because the backup already finished, or the WP scheduler invoked multiple instances of the same event minutes apart - apparently possible when very heavily overloaded)
* TWEAK: Detect an inconsistent semaphore locking state, and fix it (apparently only possible upon unexpected server crash)
* TWEAK: Provide a button to cancel (not just continue) an interrupted restore
* TWEAK: Work around buggy Ubuntu PHP versions - https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/php5/+bug/1315888
* TWEAK: Make sure that backup options get passed on with continuation data, when resuming an interrupted restore
* TWEAK: Catch a few untranslated strings (in the decryptor widget for encrypted backups)

* FEATURE: Usability improvements and ability to select file components in the 'Backup Now' dialog - https://updraftplus.com/improvements-to-the-backup-now-dialog-box/
* FEATURE: Full support for Microsoft Azure blob storage (UpdraftPlus Premium)
* FEATURE: Allow all files beginning with a defined prefix to be excluded from the backup by inputting (for example) prefix:someprefix_,prefix:someotherprefix- in your exclusion settings - see: https://updraftplus.com/faqs/how-can-i-exclude-particular-filesdirectories-from-the-backup/
* FEATURE: UpdraftPlus Premium can now restore backups created by "Dropbox Backup" by WPAdm
* COMPATIBILITY: Tested/supported on the forthcoming WordPress 4.4
* TWEAK: Faster zip file creation on PHP 7 with ZipArchive - https://updraftplus.com/faster-zip-file-creation-with-the-php-7-zip-engine/
* TWEAK: Improve settings tab: remove headings, tweak a few wordings, move "remote storage" section further up
* TWEAK: Introduce UPDRAFTPLUS_SET_TIME_LIMIT internal constant
* TWEAK: Quote the table name passed to MySQL in DESCRIBE statement
* TWEAK: Prevent a PHP notice being logged during initial updates connection, and another when restoring third-party databases
* TWEAK: Style previously unstyled button in some auto-backup scenarios
* FIX: A few settings were not being deleted by the "Wipe Settings" button.
* FIX: Importer would not correctly handle third-party backups where the files and zip were both in zip format, separately, and where they were restored together
* FIX: With multi-archive backup sets, files in the top level of a backup of WP core or 'others' were not restored by an in-dashboard restore if they over-wrote an existing non-identical file if they were not in the first archive
= 1.11.17 - 13/Nov/2015 =
* FIX: Resolve a conflict with "Simple Calendar" (formerly "Google Calendar Events") since their re-written 3.0 release, when using Google Drive storage
= 1.11.15 - 28/Oct/2015 =
* FEATURE: Google Cloud Storage support (UpdraftPlus Premium)
* FIX: Automatic backups of WordPress core prior to WP core upgrade in recent versions were including non-WP core files
* FIX: OwnCloud 8.1's WebDAV server responds differently, breaking UD's communications: restore the ability to back up to OwnCloud WebDAV
* TWEAK: Allow use of the Meta key for selecting multiple backup sets (as well as Control)
* TWEAK: When sending backup data directly site-to-site (when migrating), handle the (very rare) case where a remote server complains of the chunk size after accepting previous chunks of the same size
* TWEAK: Add message to final log line when sending backup set directly to a remote site, reminding the user of what to do next.

* TWEAK: Raise some of the Google Drive network timeouts
* TWEAK: Suppress an internal PHP notice when pruning backups in some circumstances
* TRANSLATIONS: Various updated translations
= 1.11.12 - 29/Sep/2015 =
* FEATURE: More sophisticated rules for retention/deletion (UpdraftPlus Premium) - https://updraftplus.com/more-sophisticated-backup-retention/
* FEATURE: Delete multiple backups at once - https://updraftplus.com/deleting-multiple-backups/
* FEATURE: When choosing a monthly backup, you can now choose the starting date (e.g. choose 17th, not just choose the next week-day, e.g. next Monday)
* FEATURE: You can exclude files with any particular extension by using the constant UPDRAFTPLUS_EXCLUDE_EXTENSIONS (comma-separate different extensions), or by inputting (for example) ext:.zip,ext:.mp4 in your exclusion settings.
* FEATURE: Tested and supported on the forthcoming PHP 7.0
* FIX: SFTP uploads could hang after finishing, if more than one attempt was needed to upload the file
* FIX: Stop causing JavaScript errors on WordPress 3.2 on the plugins page
* TWEAK: UI improvement when choosing multiple storage options - https://updraftplus.com/a-prettier-way-to-choose-remote-storage-options/
* TWEAK: The storage selection drop-down (free version) now has icons to make it easier on the eye
* TWEAK: Use UpdraftPlus Vault logo
* TWEAK: Replace target="_new" with target="_blank" when opening new browser ports, to be more standards-compliant
* TWEAK: Tweak the auto-split algorithm again to catch another case where it would have been better to split in a low-resource situation
* TWEAK: When checking the backup integrity, allow for a multisite to not have a root options table; check sitemeta instead (unlikely, but theoretically possible)
* TWEAK: Raise default Google Drive network timeout from 15 seconds - it's too possible to hit this on a slow uplink (e.g. congested ADSL)
* TWEAK: Upgrade the bundled Google SDK to the most recent release (1.1.4)
* TWEAK: Add previously-untranslated string
* TWEAK: Suppress a PHP notice relating to a constant that needed quoting
* TWEAK: Turn off reporting of PHP deprecation conditions if using phpseclib on PHP 7 (can break communications - phpseclib uses PHP4-style constructors)
* TRANSLATIONS: Various updated translations
= 1.11.9 - 04/Sep/2015 =
* FIX: Dropbox introduced an un-documented, un-announced change to their server, which caused new site authentications in UpdraftPlus to no longer work. Now fixed with this release.
* FIX: If backing up multiple extra directories under "more files", if large directories required a resumption, then inclusion of the files multiple times in the backup was possible.
* TWEAK: Tweak the auto-split algorithm to not avoid firing in a particular case (that relies on a sequence of unlikely I/O events, seen on GoDaddy) if there's no resumption scheduled
* TWEAK: Add mysql.sql to the (changeable) default configuration for excludes from wp-content - on WP Engine this is an unreadable file that they create that thus produces a backup warning
* TWEAK: Add a dashboard warning (+ link to documentation) if UD appears to be incompletely installed
* TWEAK: Add UPDRAFTPLUS_WEBDAV_NEVER_CHUNK constant for WebDAV servers that return the wrong error code when chunking fails
* TWEAK: Introduce a UPDRAFTPLUS_REMOTESEND_DEFAULT_CHUNK_BYTES constant allowing the over-riding of the remote-send (Migrator) starting chunk size in wp-config.php (expert users)
* TWEAK: Add CSS classes to dashboard updates notices, so that people can hide them more easily if they wish
* TWEAK: If gzopen() is disabled, then test binzip without trying to use PclZip to verify the results
* TWEAK: Add work-around for PHP bug https://bugs.php.net/bug.php?id=62852
= 1.11.6 - 22/Aug/2015 =
* FIX: SFTP was not working in 1.11.4 for some servers (related to phpseclib library update and sources of random data)
* FIX: 1.11.5 release had wrong version number in header for paying users; corrected with fresh release
= 1.11.4 - 19/Aug/2015 =
* FIX: Perform previously missing tweak on the database after restoring a multisite backup to an install with a different table prefix, which inhibited the ability to create new users on the main site in a network.
* TWEAK: Remove an inefficiency when examining files to prune from Google Drive, reducing the amount of time needed.
* TWEAK: Show a warning if UpdraftPlus's directory in wp-content/plugins has been manually renamed to include a space, which WordPress does not support
* TWEAK: Skip search/replacing of the 'guid' column in the posts table when migrating (improves performance - and prevents possible re-appearances of blog articles in peoples' feed readers if double-migrating)
* TWEAK: Upgraded the bundled phpseclib Math, Net and File libraries to current versions (1.0 branch)
* TWEAK: Prevent PHP notice in log file when deleting FTP backup from dashboard
* TRANSLATIONS: Updated translations, including Greek
= 1.11.3 - 13/Aug/2015 =
* FIX: Fix access to S3 for PHP 5.2 users using buckets in the US-WEST-1 region
* FIX: Fix access to UpdraftPlus Vault for some PHP 5.2 users
= 1.11.2 - 11/Aug/2015 =
* TWEAK: Handle the results when someone with no UpdraftPlus Vault quota attempts to connect more gracefully
= 1.11.1 - 10/Aug/2015 =
* FEATURE: UpdraftPlus Vault storage - simple to set up storage from your trusted provider: https://updraftplus.com/landing/vault - with 1Gb of free storage for UpdraftPlus Premium customers ( https://updraftplus.com/shop/updraftplus-premium/ ) - and more storage available for anyone to purchase. All other storage options (Dropbox, Google Drive, etc.) remain available, of course!
* FEATURE: S3 enhanced wizard now allows the user to optionally deny the new Amazon Web Services IAM user download and/or delete permissions, for an even more secure setup (at the cost of some convenience - you will need to download/restore/delete S3 backups outside of UpdraftPlus).
* FEATURE: Amazon S3 in UpdraftPlus Premium now supports optional server-side encryption
* FEATURE: An "UpdraftPlus" menu now appears on the WP admin bar, allowing quick access.
* COMPATIBILITY: Tested and compatible with WordPress 4.3
* SPEED: For users' whose backups are created with a zip binary (the default engine, where available), CPU usage + zip creation times have been significantly reduced
* SPEED: For users cloning a website with a large number of users and a changed table prefix, a long and slow series of SQL operations has been replaced with a single fast one
* FIX: The chunk-uploading algorithm for Copy.Com could unnecessarily upload the same chunks multiple times. We have not had any reports, but we believe it's also theoretically possible that a Copy.Com upload could have been corrupted by the same issue, so recommend updating for all Copy.Com users.
* FIX: Fix issue with site cloning whereby on sites with very large numbers of entries in the postmeta table that needed search/replacing, some could be omitted (in the case seen, the table had >600,000 entries)
* FIX: Saving the settings immediately after authenticating with Copy.Com resulted in being redirected to WP's page for all settings.
* FIX: If PHP was killed by the webserver during the process of pruning old backups, then this would not be retried until the next backup, thus potentially leaving more backups than desired around in remote storage in the meanwhile.
* FIX: Log files sometimes failed to mention the MySQL version
* TRANSLATIONS: Various updated translations - thanks to our translators
* TWEAK: When choosing multiple remote storage options (Premium), these are now stacked via tabs, instead of vertically as before
* TWEAK: More help for enormous sites on badly resourced web hosting: part of the enumeration of uploads needing backing up is now cached, allowing more to be time when time limits are short
* TWEAK: Secret credentials (e.g. S3 secret key) in the admin area are now starred (as explained in our long-standing FAQ, this does nothing to protect against malicious WordPress co-admins on your site - https://updraftplus.com/faqs/in-the-administration-section-it-shows-my-amazon-ftp-etc-passwords-without-using-stars-is-this-safe/ - but at least we won't get asked about it so many times!).
* TWEAK: Provide more direct help to the user if they are hosting with Strato and get the 'File Size Limit Exceeded' zip message
* TWEAK: When migrating data directly to a remote site, if the remote site returns a 413 HTTP code ("Request Entity Too Large"), re-try using a smaller chunk size
* TWEAK: Log when about to begin encryption of a database file (allowing the progress to be monitored more easily if there's a problem)
* TWEAK: Detect a further case of an incompatible database (that is from a remote source and uses MySQL features not present on the destination server) and warn before attempting to import.
* TWEAK: Make the error message shown if trying to restore an incompatible database (that is from a remote source and uses MySQL features not present on the destination server) clearer.
* TWEAK: If the user uses "Backup Now" before saving their settings, warn them that the unsaved settings changes won't apply to this backup
* TWEAK: Only warn about very large files found once for each file (rather than once per resumption)
* TWEAK: Add the UPDRAFTPLUS_GOOGLEDRIVE_DISABLEGZIP constant - define it as true to work-around broken HTTP setups (possibly broken outgoing proxy?) when accessing Google Drive
* TWEAK: When claiming an add-on (paid versions), the user's updraftplus.com password will automatically be forgotten once it is no longer needed
* TWEAK: Handle the case of the user typing in an invalid number of backups to retain more elegantly
* TWEAK: No longer require the php-mcrypt module for Dropbox
* TWEAK: Also retry a smaller chunk size if it looks like mod_security unhelpfully replaced a 413 HTTP code with a 200 success message despite the operation actually failing for this reason, or if it looks like sending is just timing out before the PHP timeout (so that we don't get notified).
* TWEAK: Added new CA root certificates to store (http://curl.haxx.se/ca/cacert.pem)
* TWEAK: If the Migrator's direct-send component drops its chunk size, then store this information so that it doesn't have to go through the cycle of finding the best chunk size the next time.
* TWEAK: Added UPDRAFTPLUS_IPV4_ONLY constant to prevent use of IPv6 (currently implemented by Google Drive only)
* TWEAK: Deal with a case where the web host appears to be losing disk I/O near kill time, despite later database writes going through (so, the order of operations was insufficient to guarantee what had been completed). This issue was only cosmetic - backup sets were intact (hence "tweak", not "fix")
* TWEAK: Increase HTTP timeout for remote site-to-site operations
* TWEAK: Don't cause the 'debug' tab to abort rendering if the web host has disabled the gzopen() function (which is an odd/pointless thing to do)
* TWEAK: Resolve PHP 'strict standards' coding internal notice in Google Drive module
= 1.10.3 - 2015-06-09 =

* FIX: The error message when choosing no components to restore was empty
* FIX: Restore ability to run on WordPress 3.5 (actually fixed in downloads of 1.10.1 after 2015-05-13)
* FIX: Some automatic pre-upgrade backups were not marked internally as such, leading UD to delete the oldest scheduled backup prematurely backups prematurely
* TWEAK: Reduce HTTP round-trips when checking presence + downloading backup archives in a restore/migrate operation
* TWEAK: Alert the user earlier if they're trying to use a database with a character set not supported by MySQL
* TWEAK: Use separate internal jobs for separate downloads, and thus avoid race conditions when updating job data (symptom: download widgets that don't show current information)
* TWEAK: Add constant UPDRAFTPLUS_SFTP_TIMEOUT allowing users to over-ride (via wp-config.php) the default SFTP timeout (default now: 15 seconds).
* TWEAK: Make Copy.Com filter out non-backups from remote file listings at an earlier stage
* TWEAK: Log more information when a curl error occurs when getting a OneDrive access token

* TWEAK: Improve backup-file-naming routine to reduce the times when no ASCII name can be found (ASCII is preferred as not all cloud storage methods will accept arbitrary characters in filenames)
* TWEAK: Don't keep a log file (unless debug mode is on) for scheduled tasks that result in the result that nothing needs backing up
* TWEAK: Remove cache files from Cherry Framework child themes upon migration (framework misbehaves if cache files are present after URL change)

* TWEAK: Add woocommerce_order_items and relevanssi_log to the list of potentially huge tables that won't need search/replacing
* TWEAK: Add link to admin email setting and fix broken link to reporting add-on in free version
* TWEAK: Provide more direct help for paid users getting blocked by the security shield when connecting for updates access
* TWEAK: Small tweak in zip-splitting algorithm if it looks likely that there are insufficient resources with no further resumptions yet scheduled

* TWEAK: Replace some non-SSL links to updraftplus.com with SSL links, and replace all non-SSL readme links

* TWEAK: When cloning a site with Jetpack, automatically clear Jetpack invalid connection status
* TWEAK: Prevent some old admin notices from being repeated when saving settings

* TWEAK: Amazon S3 reduced redundancy storage (a feature of UpdraftPlus Premium) now requires use of PHP 5.3.3 or later.
* TWEAK: Various fixes to bring automatic backups code up to date with WP 4.2 release candidate 1 (there were some changes since beta 3, which worked since UD 1.9.62)
* TWEAK: Update to version 2.0 of plugin updater class (https://github.com/YahnisElsts/plugin-update-checker) - necessary on WP 4.2 to prevent shiny updates after the first failing when 3rd party plugins exist, and to suppress a PHP notice on the plugins page.
* TWEAK: Add wp_rp_tags to the list of potentially huge tables that won't need search/replacing
* TRANSLATION: New Slovenian translation, courtesy of Clav Icula
= 1.9.63 - 2015-04-03 =

= 1.9.62 - 2015-04-01 =
* FEATURE: Automatic backups now integrate with the forthcoming WP 4.2's "shiny plugin updates"
* COMPATIBILITY: Tested and marked compatible with the forthcoming WordPress 4.2 (tested up to beta 3)

* TWEAK: Decrease UI clutter in backup time selection
* TWEAK: Update to latest global SSL CA bundle, removing again 1024-bit root CAs (last attempted in 1.9.26, but S3 still had some legacy servers). Modern web browsers have not accepted these for 6 months now. (SSL verification can be turned off in the expert options).
* TWEAK: Defeat WP Download Manager Google Drive plugin's loading of its SDK on all pages (conflicting with UD when UD attempts to backup to Google Drive)
* TWEAK: Detect case of old MySQL on Windows with table prefix that varies by case (and hence WP actually only works by accident) - produce a consistent backup that can be restored on any MySQL server.
* TWEAK: Add dashboard notice with links to more resources, for free users who've been installed >4 weeks (with option to dismiss notice)
* TWEAK: Add itsec_log to the list of tables of non-essential/not-needing-search/replace + likely to be large tables for backup strategy
* TWEAK: Improvement to scheduling algorithm in case where WP's scheduler starts same resumption multiple times - prevent next attempt being delayed longer than necessary
* TWEAK: Add a header to report emails indicating the job ID - helps when debugging
* TWEAK: Detect + show a more helpful error message if blocked by CloudFlare when connecting for updates (paid versions)
* TWEAK: Make it easier to use custom Dropbox API keys, via UPDRAFTPLUS_CUSTOM_DROPBOX_APP constant (define to true in wp-config.php)

* TWEAK: Give timestamp of WPB2D backups without relying upon location of SQL file
* TWEAK: Detect a situation on migration where the uploads path is changed (from a site that began pre-WP 3.5) that was previously undetected
* TRANSLATIONS: French translation updated from less than half to complete, thanks to Erwan François. Various other translations updated (many thanks to all translators).
= 1.9.60 - 2015-02-24 =
* FEATURE: When using "Backup Now", and keeping the UpdraftPlus settings page open, a broken WP scheduler will not prevent the backup's progress.
* FEATURE: Amazon's "EU Central 1" Frankfurt region now supported again (Amazon began requiring their new signature method at this location - probably a sign of things to come everywhere). PHP 5.3.3 required for this region.
* FEATURE: Database backup files can now be handled when uncompressed - i.e., you can remove the gzip compression, and use the resulting file (useful for large backups on slow/limited hosting: pre-decompressing the file will reduce the processing time needed)
* FEATURE: Introduced new in-page auto-backup widget that can resume, and thus cope with a backup of any size. This feature is in preparation of WP 4.2's major re-write of the updating user experience flow.
* TWEAK: Update PHP-Opencloud (Rackspace) and dependency libraries to current versions.
* TWEAK: Make sure that activity is recorded periodically when adding database tables to the final database backup (found a site with over 7,500 tables)

* TWEAK: Added free/Premium comparison table to the free version
* TWEAK: Importer (part of UpdraftPlus Premium) can now import generic .sql, .sql.gz and .sql.bz2 files
* TWEAK: Don't show the "memory limit" warning in a case where the value could not be accurately detected
* TWEAK: If the user chooses the "email" remote storage method, then a warning will be added if the archive being sent is bigger than most mailservers can carry (and will be removed if it is successfully sent), thus giving the user a hint as to the failure cause (if they overlooked the existing warning in the email settings).
* TWEAK: The importer (part of UpdraftPlus Premium) can now import the latest BackupWordPress format databases
* TWEAK: Flush output buffer explicitly when closing the browser connection - prevents delayed feedback on some setups
* TWEAK: Automatic backups are now offered if you go to the 'Plugins' page, and update via the 'More information' iframe
* TWEAK: Trim spaces from Google Drive client_id/secret - some users didn't spot that they introduced whitespace when copy-pasting
* TWEAK: Add "Simple Visitor Stats" and "Simple Feed Stats" tables to the list of tables that may have large amounts of data, and which don't need search/replacing when migrating
* TWEAK: When restoring plugins and themes, log the list of entities being restored (helps with tracing problems)
* TWEAK: Deal with CloudFTP/StorageMadeEasy returning directory listings in a non-standard format, when rescanning remote backups

= 1.9.51 - 2015-02-03 =
* SECURITY: Prevent nonce leak that could allow logged-in users who aren't admins (if you have any) to access backups, UpdraftPlus settings and perform other harmful actions. No issue exists for users of UpdraftPlus Premium, or if you have the stand-alone "Automatic Backups" or "No Adverts" add-ons, or if your site has no untrusted users who can log in (or whilst have dismissed the "Automatic Backups" notice on the updates page). Credit to Sucuri (http://sucuri.net) for identifying this issue, and notifying us of it.
= 1.9.50 - 2015-01-29 =

* TWEAK: Prevent 'Strict Standards' PHP coding notice with WebDAV on PHP 5.5
* TWEAK: Provide clickable link through to the admin email address in the reporting settings
* TWEAK: If the gzopen or gzread functions are disabled in the PHP install, then the message saying so omitted to say which one (or both)
* FIX: WebDAV upload method could very occasionally fail to detect upload error conditions
= 1.9.46 - 2014-12-29 =
* FEATURE: Chunked/resumable uploads are now supported for SFTP

* TWEAK: Prevent PHP notice when listing files on SFTP server
* TWEAK: Reset an internal upload counter used to detect activity when a cloud storage switch is made due to no apparent activity - could prevent some large, long-running uploads on hosts with little available execution time

* FIX: Fix case in which the database imported from a BackWPUp backup could be falsely identified as missing (introduced in 1.9.40)
* FIX: WordPress installs with ALTERNATE_WP_CRON set could skip some scheduled backups (since 1.9.19, so it appears that the conditions required to cause this bug are rare)
= 1.9.44 - 2014-12-13 =
* TRANSLATIONS: Add new incomplete translations (ready for the wordpress.org change to take translation availability into account when searching for plugins): Norwegian Bokmål, Norwegian Nynorsk, Finnish, Hebrew, Catalan, Vietnamese, Bengali

since we can work this out ourselves

writable.

1024-bit certificate, causing backup to fail due to SSL validation failure.
