Additional information

If you set it at slow internet then the files will be transferred into chunks at the rate of 2Mb, and if set at fast internet then it will be transferred at the rate of 10 Mb. So, better to keep in the middle, neither slow nor fast.

Like this, you can also add cloud addons like One Drive, Amazon, Google Cloud, and many more.

Let’s check where you can see the cloud server options

Go to the Everest Backup Backup page: 

There you can see the “Google Drive” option in Manual backup and Schedule backup in the “Save a copy to” section after clicking on the dropdown. 

That means, Google drive is successfully added to your system and you can save your file directly on Google drive.  If you hover on Google Drive for a few seconds it will show you a description “ Save the backup packages securely to your google drive.” 

Now you can directly backup files into Google Drive and restore them when needed

Furthermore, go to the Available section of the Everest Backup Plugin Restore section, you can see the dropdown and click on the dropdown and select “Google Drive” then click on the filter. 

Then the list of files that are backed up in the drive will be shown. And if you hover on the file you will get the restore option, like you can roll back the file directly from “Google Drive”. To know more about rollback go to the link below: https://wpeverestbackup.com/how-to-restore-available-files/

In addition, go to Everest Backup History, where you will get a list of files and the dropdown. Click on the dropdown select “Google Drive” and filter it. The list of backed-up files in the drive will be shown.

 If you hover around the file, it will give you three options, download, rollback, and remove. 

Extra information

You can download the backed-up file without logging into “Google Drive” and restore the file. And if you click on remove then it will automatically remove the file in Google Drive. Likewise, if you delete the backed up file in the “Google Drive”, then it won’t show in the website dashboard history or available restore list. 

During this (add cloud addons), if you get any kind of error message then send us an email at bug-report[at]wpeverestbackup. com with the screenshots of the error message, log file, and information about your system.  To get information on your system go to Everest Backup Plugin setting, select general, and then information.
