    Normally it stores them on:
    yourhome/public_html/wp-content/??????????-backups

    Not sure, but if I’m not wrong, there isn’t any setting that allow users to define the backup location.

    Where does BackUpWordPress store the backup files?

    Backups are stored on your server in /wp-content/backups, you can change the directory.

    They write that you can change the directory in the FAQ, i just cant figure out how?

    Hey Kasper,

    Go to “wp-config.php” and add this line:

    define(‘HMBKP_PATH’, dirname(__FILE__) . ‘<PUT_HERE_THE_DIR>’);

    Then, refresh the plugin screen and when you put the mouse above the phrase “this server” you will see the final path that plugin is going to use. Remember to set the right permissions on your new folder before adding the line in wp-config file.

    hope this helps!
