Hi all,

 

Recently installed Xcloner. Great plugin for my WP site.

My question: my first backup was done with the standard settings of Xcloner. After that I've changed the backup dir to outside my WP dir.

I'm left with a direcory called "/MySite.be/administrator/backups".

Can I safely delete that specific dir, 'cause it contains a number of files, plus a large "databas-sql.sql" file?

 

thx

Chris

XCloner requires the administrator/backups directory from your Backups Start Path to exist at the time of the backup, even if the store path is somewhere else, so i would suggest just emptying that directory of all files except index.html!
