 * Hello,
 * Why the update feature on Updraft Central record incomplete backups when the “
   Backup first” option is set?

 * When I create a backup using the “Backup Now” feature it keeps a full backup:

 * Is there any way to set up the “Backup first” functionality to record a full 
   backup?
 * Thank you!

 * Hi,
 * Apologies for the late reply.
 * For backups before updates, UpdraftPlus will only backup the files that are changed
   during the update.
 * Regards,
