 * Hello!!
 * We are using the updraft plugin for our daily remote backup (On Google Drive)
   to avoid data loss in case of any unexpected event for a while. But lately, there
   have been some issues with the same.
 * The backup files are now stored on the server-side of our domain too. This is
   ultimately causing us a shortage of storage issues for our website. And it is
   taking up a lot of our server disk space.
 * How can we keep up our daily backup files just on Google drive rather than stored
   on the server? So, that we can have some free space to utilize?`
 * The page I need help with: _[[log in](https://login.wordpress.org/?redirect_to=https%3A%2F%2Fwordpress.org%2Fsupport%2Ftopic%2Fserver-side-backup%2F%3Foutput_format%3Dmd&locale=en_US)
   to see the link]_

 * Hi,
 * Please go to UpdraftPlus ‘Settings’ tab > ‘Show expert settings’ > select ‘Delete
   local backup’ and make sure to click the ‘Save Changes’ after. This will then
   tell UpdraftPlus to delete the backup after it is sent to your remote storage
 * Kind Regards,

 * Hello!!
 * The settings you mentioned above were already enabled under the expert settings
   tab.
 * So, do I have to disable and re-enable it for it to work properly?
 * Please, help me with this!!

 * [@shravanbhavyata](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shravanbhavyata/) Can 
   you post your backup log using a tool such as pastebin so we can check your backups?
