Local Backup History

The Local Backups card (teal) shows every backup zip currently stored on your server.

• Date / time — exact timestamp when the backup completed, in your WordPress timezone.
• Size — zip file size. A typical site produces backups of 200 MB–2 GB.
• Type — Manual (triggered by you) or Scheduled (automatic).
• Cloud sync columns — a column appears for each configured provider (S3, Google Drive, Dropbox). A green tick means successfully synced; a red cross means sync failed (hover for the error); a dash means no sync was attempted.
• Download — streams the zip directly to your browser. Always keep at least one backup offsite.
• Restore — opens the restore confirmation modal for that backup.
• Delete — permanently removes the zip. Cannot be undone.

Row colours: The newest backup is highlighted green (latest). A Delete Soon badge marks the oldest kept backup when you are at your retention limit — it will be deleted when the next backup runs. Rows highlighted orange are already over-limit and will be deleted immediately on the next backup run.

The backup directory path is shown at the bottom with a Copy button. Backups are stored in wp-content/cloudscale-backups/.
