But first things first: What new enhancements can you expect in BackWPup 3.4.1?

BackWPup 3.4.1 Release – That’s new

Here’s a general overview of what we’ve added in this release:

Feature: Debug Info

Often times when users contact us for support, we need to ask all sorts of information to find out more about their environment.

This screenshot shows how to send a debug info in BackWPup PRO.

We’ve now put all this information in one convenient place for you to simply copy with one click and send over to us. And if you have BackWPup Pro, you can even contact us from right within the plugin and we get the debug info automatically, along with any logs you want to attach. We hope this will make your support experience much smoother.

Excluding Folders

Users couldn’t exclude folders under wp-content. We added that feature now.

Old Archives Now Deleted Properly

Some users experienced a bug where old backup archives weren’t being deleted as expected. We fixed that in this release.
