You can use this file to validate your backups without the need to download the whole backup.
The new include module allows Regex and Glob patterns to give our users a lot more flexibility when they want to apply specific rules on selected backup paths. You can add multiple include rules and they can be used in combination with exclude rules.
The new exclude module allows Regex and Glob patterns to give our users a lot more flexibility when they want to exclude files/directories from their backup. You can add multiple exclude rules and they apply to add the paths you select for backup in your node.

Changes:
Fixed the download of database backup files. In some hosting configurations, the server may send .gz files as text, which can cause partial or corrupt database backup files depending on server memory configuration.
This version fixes a critical issue where the compressed backup was missing files on some hosting configurations with lower memory limits and other PHP constraints.
Please update your BackupSheep WordPress plugin immediately.
To offer a more consistent user experience and to support upcoming enhancements, all backups will run from our Europe (Germany) region from August 1st, 2022.
If your backups are configured in our Asia (Singapore), Oceania (Sydney) or North America (Canada) region then please switch to one of our endpoints in Europe (Germany) before August 1st, 2022.
You can easily change the endpoint on the integration settings page. You don't need to delete any nodes or integration. Change Endpoint
We offered multi-region support since 2018. However, the configuration of server hardware & bandwidth is different in every region. This makes our development process slow and user experience inconsistent across different regions.
